New York, NY (AP) — August 22, 2025
In a tense showdown at Yankee Stadium, the Boston Red Sox triumphed over the New York Yankees, clinching the season series with a 1-0 victory. Pitcher Brayan Bello delivered a stellar performance, tossing seven innings of three-hit baseball, while improving his record to 10-6. This was Bello’s third scoreless outing of the season, showcasing his dominance, especially against the Yankees, against whom he has excelled this year.
The game’s sole run came in the seventh inning, as Connor Wong knocked in an RBI double following a double from pinch-hitter Nathaniel Lowe. The Yankees struggled at the plate, managing only three hits throughout the game and suffering their ninth shutout of the season. Starting pitcher Max Fried showed promise with six scoreless innings, striking out seven, but was unable to secure a win.
The Red Sox’s victory pushes them half a game ahead of the Yankees for the American League’s first wild card and improves their record against their rivals to 7-1 this season. As both teams prepare for their next match-up, the Red Sox look to capitalize on their momentum while the Yankees face growing challenges in the AL East standings.
