Yankees sweep red sox, secure six-game win streak

Cam Schlittler, the 25-year-old right-hander, limited the Boston Red Sox to four hits over eight dominant innings, leading the New York Yankees to a thrilling 4-2 victory and a season-high six-game winning streak.

With his family, who had faced threats from Red Sox fans, cheering him on, Schlittler (3-1) struck out five, walked one, and lowered his ERA to 1.77. The longest outing in 20 regular-season starts for the Weymouth native, it was reminiscent of his eight shutout innings against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium in last year's AL Wild Card Series.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. tied the score 1-1 with a fifth-inning homer off rookie Payton Tolle, while Cody Bellinger's two-run single in the seventh gave the Yankees the lead for good.

Marcelo Mayer's RBI double and Carlos Narváez's fifth-inning homer provided early leads for Boston, but the Red Sox could not overcome the resilient Yankees, who have not lost a series since April 10-12 against the Chicago White Sox.

David Bednar tossed a perfect ninth for his seventh save in eight chances, dropping the last-place Red Sox (9-16) seven games back of New York (16-9) with their fifth loss in six games.
