Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees enjoy a commanding 3.5 game-lead to the top of the American League East standings. However, they were humiliated by their arch rivals, the Boston Red Sox over the weekend as they won the three game series 3-0.

The week began with Boston calling up top prospect Roman Anthony. It ended with the Red Sox trading slugger Rafael Devers. In between, they swept the rival Yankees.

The Yankees suffered their first regular-season series sweep since last July as the Red Sox dominated at Fenway Park, with New York batters hitting just .160 against Boston pitching.

Its Monday, June 16 and the Angels (33-37) are in the Bronx to open a series against the Yankees (42-28). José Soriano is slated to take the mound for Los Angeles against Clarke Schmidt for New York.

The origin of Hunter Dobbins' hatred for the New York Yankees came into question this week, but that didn't stop the Boston Red Sox pitcher from dealing 6.0 scoreless innings against them on Saturday.

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.

After a 10th-inning walk-off in Friday’s opener and a hard-fought one-run win on Saturday, the Red Sox looked to ride the momentum of the past two days into Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees.

The operative phrase there from Boone is “just in case.” The Yankees already have four outfielders on their active roster — four quality outfielders — and on most days, either Cody Bellinger, Jasson Domínguez or Grisham needs to be out of the lineup because of that surplus.
