Red Sox Win Fourth Straight Game Over Yankees, Reach .500 Season Record

The Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees 4-3 at Fenway Park, marking their fourth consecutive win against their rivals and improving their record to .500. Rookie pitcher Hunter Dobbins was the standout performer, pitching six scoreless innings and striking out five, earning his second victory over the Yankees in a week. The Red Sox showcased strong defense and timely hitting, with key plays from Trevor Story, Romy Gonzalez, and Carlos Narváez, whose heads-up pickoff play in the seventh inning ended a Yankees rally. The Yankees struggled offensively, managing only a few runs late in the game, with Aaron Judge going 0-for-4 and striking out three times, dropping his batting average slightly. Despite strong pitching from Carlos Rodón, who gave up four runs over five innings, the Yankees were unable to capitalize and now face the prospect of a series sweep. This loss highlights ongoing challenges for the Yankees within their division, as they have an 8-11 record against divisional opponents this season.
