Faced with the prospect of helping his team sweep their archrivals Sunday at Fenway, Red Sox starter Brayan Bello threw out his usual plan of attack and was rewarded with his best start of the season.

The sellout crowd at Fenway Park roared when Brayan Bello came back out of the dugout for the seventh inning on Sunday afternoon. Their cheers only got louder from there. The slender righthander was at his best against the Yankees, pitching seven brilliant innings as the Sox again beat their rivals, 2-0.

Brayan Bello struck out eight over seven innings, Rafael Devers homered and Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 2-0 for a three-game sweep that extended their winning streak to five.

Another day, another new ninth-inning option for the Red Sox. Garrett Whitlock dominated Sunday, but that doesn't mean Aroldis Chapman is hurt.

Rafael Devers homered and Brayan Bello tossed seven shutout innings as the Boston Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the visiting New York Yankees with a 2-0 victory Sunday.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora wanted his twin 7-year-old sons to meet the Yankees' Aaron Judge, the biggest star of his team's AL East foe. “They were like ‘No, no. He’s a rival,’’’ the Boston manager recalled.

The Red Sox have a chance to break out the brooms for just the second time this season, as Boston can sweep the Yankees out of Fenway Park in Sunday’s series finale. The Red Sox last swept an opponent at the start of April, taking all three games from the Cardinals in the third series of the season.
