On June 8, 2025, the Boston Red Sox faced off against the New York Yankees in an eventful game at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox, who have struggled during the season, managed to overcome their rival Yankees with an impressive 11-7 victory. This match marked the culmination of a three-game series, with the Red Sox winning two out of three against the first-place Yankees. The standout performance came from Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez, who contributed significantly to the win with a pivotal three-run homer. Notably, Narvaez, who spent nearly a decade as a Yankees prospect, delivered a crucial hit that brought Boston back from a challenging situation. The game witnessed a total of five home runs hit by the Red Sox, showcasing their power at the plate. Narvaez’s homer was part of a notable five-run inning that shifted the momentum in favor of the Red Sox.

Despite this, Red Sox manager Alex Cora decided to keep him in the lineup, which ultimately proved to be a wise choice. Narvaez’s homer not only helped Boston take the lead but also resonated as a significant moment for him personally, as he was playing against his former team. Throughout the game, the Yankees did make their mark, with Aaron Judge hitting two two-run home runs, adding to his growing season total. However, the Yankees were unable to maintain their lead as the Red Sox’s offense exploded late in the game. Other contributors included Rafael Devers and rookie Kristian Campbell, who both added their own home runs, helping the Red Sox match a season high in home runs for a game.
