In a game centered around Cam Schlittler's return to Boston, the hometown player nearly got overshadowed by the Red Sox's young pitcher. However, after Payton Tolle left the game, the Yankees capitalized. Cody Bellinger's pinch-hit, go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh inning secured the Yankees' victory, completing a sweep of the Red Sox with their sixth consecutive win, 4-2, at a sold-out Fenway Park. Schlittler pitched eight innings, allowing just two runs, only one earned, and four hits while striking out five. The 25-year-old right-hander delivered a memorable performance against the team he grew up rooting for. Schlittler became the latest Yankees starter to excel, fueling their winning streak. David Bednar closed out the game, completing a series where the Red Sox (9-16) managed only three runs and 13 hits. After Tolle exited with a 2-1 lead, the Yankees (16-9) took advantage in the seventh inning. Trent Grisham, Jazz Chisholm Jr., and José Caballero hit consecutive singles to load the bases. With two outs, Bellinger pinch hit and drove in two runs, giving the Yankees the lead. Aaron Judge followed with another run.
