BOSTON — Instant reactions as the Red Sox (37-36) punctuate their best series of the season with a crisp, 2-0 win over the Yankees to finish off a sweep as Brayan Bello dominates and the offense does just enough against ace Max Fried:

The origin of Hunter Dobbins' hatred for the New York Yankees came into question this week, but that didn't stop the Boston Red Sox pitcher from dealing 6.0 scoreless innings against them on Saturday.

The New York Yankees (42-27) and Boston Red Sox (36-36) tussle in the Sunday finale of a three-game AL East series. The first pitch from Fenway Park is slated for 1:35 p.m. ET (MLB Network).

MLB’s biggest rivals meet up on Sunday, June 15 before taking a two-month break between matchups as the New York Yankees face the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston to close out a three-game weekend series.

Just hours after the Red Sox handed the Yankees their first sweep of the season — and their most impotent offensive series in over a century — Boston pulled off a shocking trade that sent their slugging third baseman Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.

After a 10th-inning walk-off in Friday’s opener and a hard-fought one-run win on Saturday, the Red Sox looked to ride the momentum of the past two days into Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees.

Rafael Devers was a certified Yankee killer until the very end of his tenure with the Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox shocked the MLB world on Sunday by trading away designated hitter Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for a collection of pitchers and prospects.

On the very first Carlos Rodón pitch a Red Sox batter saw, Rob Refsnyder hit a ball down the left-field line that just bounced on the line and went for a double. While Rodón then very nearly managed to work around that, Anthony Volpe’s throw to first on a two-out grounder skipped past Paul Goldschmidt, allowing Boston to strike first.

Facing the Red Sox (37-36) on back-to-back weekends, the Yankees (42-28) dropped five of six and seemingly gave life to their rival’s season. In The Bronx, it was their pitching that failed them. At Fenway, it was their lifeless bats, plus a costly baserunning miscue in each of the past two games.
