— It's too bad baseball went away from the unbalanced schedules, because the Boston Red Sox could really use a bunch more games against theThe Red Sox beat their AL East archrivals 4-1 on Sunday night, completing a doubleheader and series sweep that brought them just two games behind their longtime nemeses in the division. Boston won the series opener 15-5, and then took Sunday's day game 6-2 in a makeup of Saturday's rainout.
It's the first time the Red Sox have swept the Yankees in a doubleheader since 2006, and the first time they did at Fenway Park since since 1976. Brayan Bello struck out a career-high eight batters in the second game, allowing one run and four hits and three walks in seven innings. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth to earn his 15th save.
In the day game, Gleyber Torres hit a first-inning, two-run homer for the Yankees, who were without slugger and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge for the 11th straight game because of a sprained right toe. They are 8-13 when he's been on the injured list this season.
