Red Sox Win Wild Finale in New York, Sweep Yankees at Stadium for First Time in Ten Years
Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run single with two outs in the 10th inning, and the Boston Red Sox held off the New York Yankees 6-5 in a wild finish for their first three-game sweep in the Bronx since June 2011. Marwin González launched a tying homer in the seventh for Boston and made a slick defensive play at second base with a runner in scoring position for the final out. González also turned a tough double play in the bottom of the 10th — and committed a throwing error that put Tyler Wade on second with two outs. Gleyber Torres lined a tying double in the bottom of the ninth off closer Matt Barnes, but Boston recovered.
