Red Sox complete sweep of Yankees

IN his final appearance in a Red Sox uniform, Rafael Devers hit a solo shot as Boston shut out the visiting New York Yankees 2-0 on Sunday (Monday in Manila) to complete a three-game sweep.

After the game, the Red Sox traded Devers—a three-time All-Star—to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for right-hander Jordan Hicks and left-hander Kyle Harrison, along with outfield prospect James Tibbs III and right-handed pitching prospect Jose Bello.

Brayan Bello (3-1) tossed seven shutout innings, holding New York to three hits, walking three and striking out eight while throwing a career-high 114 pitches. Devers’ home run came off New York starter Max Fried (9-2) in the fifth. It was his 15th home run of the season and increased Boston’s lead to 2-0.

Fried surrendered two runs on six hits in seven innings for the Yankees, who have lost the last five matchups with their American League East rivals. He struck out nine and walked two.

In other games, it was the Dodgers 5, Giants 4; Rays 9, Mets 0; Cubs 3, Pirates 2 (10 innings); Padres 8, Diamondbacks 2; Twins 2, Astros 1 (10 innings); Mariners 6, Guardians 0; Reds 8, Tigers 4; Orioles 11, Angels 2; Rockies 10, Braves 1; Phillies 11, Blue Jays 4; Marlins 3, Nationals 1; Brewers 3, Cardinals 2; Athletics 3, Royals 2; and Rangers 2, White Sox 1.

Joey Lucchesi (0-1) took the loss. Sean Hjelle was the last-minute starter for the Giants. Kyle Harrison was warming up in the bullpen less than 30 minutes before game time when he was told he was part of the Rafael Devers trade with Boston.Best video game consoles

Rays 9, Mets 0

Shane Baz pitched 6 2/3 effective innings and Junior Caminero drilled a three-run home run as visiting Tampa Bay continued its surge, completing a three-game sweep of New York.

Baz (6-3) held the Mets to three hits in his second-longest start of the season, and New York’s top four hitters of Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso were a combined 1-of-9 against him. Baz threw a career-high 106 pitches, won his third straight decision and the Rays won with him on the mound for the fifth straight time.
