That was something.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>And Duran: \u201cIt was sick.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Is sweep of Yankees the start of run that saves Red Sox&#8217; season?<\/div>\n<p><span>The Red Sox improved to 36-46 with their first four-game win streak since August and their first four-game sweep of the Yankees since 2018. The 48-35 Yankees, meanwhile, fell one game behind the Rays for second place in the AL East.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The last in a series of late-inning twists came courtesy of Duran, who had been out of the starting lineup \u2014 for a second time in five games \u2014 amid a deep slump. One at-bat prior, he had entered for Nate Eaton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After Anthony Seigler led off with an RBI single, Masataka Yoshida hustled for a big double, and Tsung-Che Cheng lofted a tying sacrifice fly to right, Duran stepped up against a five-man infield (and two-man outfield), the potential winning run on third base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cruz left a splitter over the heart of the plate. Duran drove it to a wide-open right field.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cIt meant a lot,\u201d said Duran, who is batting .200 and on Saturday appeared to verbally attack a heckling fan behind the Sox\u2019 dugout. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve let this team down a lot this year, and that moment just kind of felt like I let a little bit off my shoulders. So it was a pretty good feeling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tracy said: \u201cFor him to feel that moment, that was perfect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It bailed out Chapman, who gave up two runs (one earned), and right fielder Wilyer Abreu, who committed key errors in the ninth and 10th.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The first came on a deep fly out, when he overthrew second base. The ball rolled through the infield and all the way to the backstop as one runner scored from second and the eventual tying run advanced from first to third.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the extra inning, with Justin Slaten on the mound, Abreu ran in on Amed Rosario\u2019s sinking line drive, allowing it to tick off his glove on the way to the ground for a go-ahead single. His ensuing wild throw allowed Rosario to advance to second base, setting up the Yankees\u2019 second run.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span>It was an uncharacteristic sequence for Abreu, the two-time defending American League Gold Glover, and for Chapman, who last week lost his streak of 29 consecutive saves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3834\">The Supreme Court nears the end of its term with momentous cases about Trump\u2019s power to be decided<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHe just overshot the throw,\u201d Tracy said of Abreu. \u201cIt was to the right base. Keep that guy off second. The throw overshot. It is what it is. It happens. You don\u2019t want it to happen in that moment, but it did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Romy Gonzalez returns to Red Sox, who demote Mickey Gasper back to Worcester<\/div>\n<p><span>And Chapman said, through an interpreter: \u201cI felt good. Things didn\u2019t go my way tonight, but at the end of the day we won. That is all that matters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Chapman recovered to strike out his final two batters. That raised his career total to 1,363, tying Hoyt Wilhelm for the reliever record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For Gray, it was one of the best nights of his career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He made it through 7\u2153 innings before the Yankees recorded a hit. Rosario grounded a single up the middle, cleanly, to end the shot at history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI legitimately thought he was going to do it,\u201d Tracy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gray walked one and struck out nine. He recorded the 2,000th strikeout of his career when he got Spencer Jones swinging in the eighth, out No. 22 \u2014 right before Rosario stepped up.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cI knew after like four innings I was like, oh, I haven\u2019t given up a hit,\u201d Gray said. \u201cBut I never thought about it. I solely was just so focused on executing every pitch that I threw.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gray (2.69 ERA) departed to a standing ovation from the Fenway crowd of an announced 34,573, doffed his cap, and stepped into the dugout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He matched Garrett Crochet\u2019s no-hit bid of 7\u2153 innings in April 2025. The last Sox pitcher to go longer was Eduardo Rodriguez, who took it 7\u2154 in September 2016. Gray\u2019s previous personal best was seven innings in April 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Red Sox\u2019 most recent no-hitter: still Jon Lester against the Royals on May 19, 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The first hit for either team was Caleb Durbin\u2019s two-out, two-run single off lefthander Carlos Rod\u00f3n in the fourth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For a while, Durbin\u2019s moment looked like the big one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere\u2019s a long way to go,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cWe have some momentum now, maybe the best momentum we\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3832\">Follow live updates on the Trump administration<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Sonny Gray&#8217;s no-hit bid and Aroldis Chapman&#8217;s blown save, Jarren Duran won it with a walkoff single after New York took a two-run lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
