Yankees vs Red Sox: Five Home Runs, Rain Delays, and a Rivalry Shocker—Who Came Out on Top?

The Boston Red Sox powered past the New York Yankees, 11-7, in a dramatic series finale at Yankee Stadium, fueled by a barrage of five home runs and a pivotal sixth-inning rally Rookie catcher Carlos Narváez delivered the turning point with a three-run homer against his former team, flipping a 3-2 Yankees lead into a 5-3 Red Sox advantage.

Boston’s offense erupted in the later innings, with Kristian Campbell tying the game on a two-run shot in the fifth before Abraham Toro and Trevor Story went back-to-back with solo homers in the eighth. Rafael Devers added insurance with a ninth-inning blast, capping a night where the Red Sox lineup showcased its power up and down the order.

Aaron Judge did his best to keep the Yankees in the game, launching two home runs for his fourth multihomer contest of the season, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Boston’s relentless attack Yankees starter Carlos Rodón was tagged for five runs, tying his season high, while Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins earned the win with five solid innings.

The win secured the series for Boston, who took two of three from their longtime rivals in the Bronx. The Yankees, despite Judge’s heroics, will look to regroup as they head into their next matchup against the Royals.
