The sellout crowd at Fenway Park roared when Brayan Bello came back out of the dugout for the seventh inning on Sunday afternoon. Their cheers only got louder from there. The slender righthander was at his best against the Yankees, pitching seven brilliant innings as the Sox again beat their rivals, 2-0.

"We were all excited. We just swept the Yankees. We love our team and instead of being excited, I'm devastated," a fan told WBZ. "It's wild. We have traded Mookie Betts and Devers in the last five years. Our two best players and we got, essentially, nothing in return for either of them."

The Yankees (42-28), who entered the series off a three-game sweep of the Royals in Kansas City, were held to five hits on Sunday and have totaled five runs in their last four games. They have helped give life to the Red Sox (37-36), who have won eight of their last 10, including the last five against the Yankees.
