Rafael Devers shines as Red Sox defeat Yankees, causing New York's 15th loss in 20 games

In a thrilling baseball match at Yankee Stadium, the Boston Red Sox emerged victorious over the New York Yankees with a score of 3-0. Rafael Devers was the star of the game, hitting two crucial home runs off rookie Luis Gil in the seventh and ninth innings. Devers, who was selected for his third All-Star Game earlier that day, showcased his prowess with a total of 21 home runs this season, including 16 at Yankee Stadium and 28 against New York. Devers' impressive performance not only secured the win for Boston but also highlighted the struggles of the Yankees, who suffered their 15th loss in 20 games. The Red Sox's victory marked their sixth win in seven games and improved their record to 14-1 on Sundays. On the other hand, the Yankees dropped to 13-16 against AL East rivals and continued their disappointing streak of 0-6-1 in their last seven series. Pitcher Kutter Crawford played a significant role in Boston's success, delivering a stellar performance by allowing only four hits in seven innings and striking out nine batters without issuing any walks. The game, which lasted just 2 hours and 23 minutes, showcased Crawford's efficiency and control on the mound. Additionally, Kenley Jansen secured the win for the Red Sox by striking out Aaron Judge for his 18th save of the season. Looking ahead, the Yankees will face the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-game series, with LHP Carlos Rodón set to pitch against RHP Ryan Pepiot in the opening game on Tuesday. Despite the tough loss, both teams are gearing up for their upcoming matchups as the baseball season continues to unfold with exciting moments and fierce competition on the field.
