Red Sox rally past Yankees 5-4 in 10 innings to complete 4-game sweep after
Gray loses no-hit bid

BOSTON (AP) --- Jarren Duran singled home the winning run to cap a three-run
rally in the 10th inning after Boston blew a two-run lead in the ninth, and the
Red Sox finished a four-game sweep of the rival New York Yankees with a 5-4
victory Sunday night.
Boston starter Sonny Gray took a no-hitter into the eighth against his former
team before Amed Rosario singled with one out. That ended a brilliant outing
for Gray, who had nine strikeouts to reach 2,000 for his career.
But the Yankees scored twice in the ninth off All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman
to tie it 2-all, aided enormously by a brutal throwing error from two-time Gold
Glove right fielder Wilyer Abreu.
New York scratched across two more runs in the 10th, taking advantage of
another throwing error by Abreu after Rosario's sinking liner squirted out of
his glove for an RBI single. But right-hander Fernando Cruz (4-3) was unable to
hold the lead after closer David Bednar had pitched the previous two innings.
Boston's first four-game sweep of the Yankees at home since 2018 marked the
first four-game winning streak this season for the last-place Red Sox.
New York arrived at Fenway Park with the best record in the American League but
left a game behind Tampa Bay atop the AL East.
Anthony Seigler led off the bottom of the 10th with an RBI single that trimmed
Boston's deficit to 4-3. Pinch-hitter Masataka Yoshida followed with a double
before a sacrifice fly by Tsung-Che Chung tied it at 4 and advanced Yoshida to
third.
New York brought in Rosario from left field to form a five-man infield, and
Duran hit a line drive to right where nobody was standing.
Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected for arguing after he was
called out on a check-swing for strike three to end the sixth.
