BOSTON — The Red Sox have been trotting out a rookie-heavy lineup during their recent run of victories, having won four games in a row and six of seven to get back to .500. Facing a tough pitching matchup Sunday, though, they’ll start the game with three of their prized rookies on the bench.
The win arrived in Boston's first game since the stunning trade of All-Star slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Starting pitcher Lucas Giolito was credited with the win after throwing six shutout innings.
Brayan Bello struck out eight over seven innings, Rafael Devers homered and Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 2-0 for a three-game sweep that extended their winning streak to five.
