Now that's how you end a weekend series in enemy territory. The Boston Red Sox didn't just beat the New York Yankees on Sunday night; they bludgeoned them, launching five home runs in an 11-7 slugfest to take two of three games in the Bronx. It was a powerful, emphatic statement from a lineup that looks absolutely locked in.
The Red Sox scored 27 runs in the three-game series, their most at Yankee Stadium since 2005.
The party at Yankee Stadium was loud, and the Red Sox were the life of it. The home run parade was led by a sweet-revenge, three-run shot from Carlos Narváez against his former club. But he wasn't alone. Rafael Devers, Kristian Campbell, Abraham Toro, and Trevor Story all went deep, showcasing the lineup's depth and power. Hunter Dobbins battled through five innings to get the win, and while the bullpen bent, it didn't break, with Aroldis Chapman slamming the door by striking out Anthony Volpe with two on to earn his 11th save. Scoring 27 runs in a series in the Bronx is no small feat—it's a signal that this offense is a legitimate force.
While the big league club is firing on all cylinders, help for the pitching staff is on the way. The bullpen, which has been stretched thin, is anticipating the return of key setup man Justin Slaten (right shoulder) as early as June 13. Veteran Liam Hendriks (right hip) is on a similar timeline, potentially rejoining the team for the next Yankees series at Fenway. Further out, lefty Chris Murphy is making significant strides in his Tommy John recovery, heading to High-A Greeneville to begin ramping up. His return after the All-Star break could be a massive boost for the second half.
The present is exciting, and the future looks just as bright. Down on the farm, the organization's top prospect, Roman Anthony, continues to make noise. The Triple-A outfielder came up clutch with a big home run this past week, reminding everyone why he's considered the future cornerstone of this franchise. His continued success is a fantastic sign for the long-term health of the organization and adds another layer of excitement to the 2025 season.
Riding the high of a massive series win in New York, the Sox now return home to face a division rival in the Tampa Bay Rays. With Brayan Bello on the mound against Shane Baz, the question is simple: can this offensive juggernaut keep rolling at Fenway? If the weekend was any indication, fans are in for an exciting homestand.
