BOSTON — Instant reactions as the Red Sox (37-36) punctuate their best series of the season with a crisp, 2-0 win over the Yankees to finish off a sweep as Brayan Bello dominates and the offense does just enough against ace Max Fried:

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 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.

On the very first Carlos Rodón pitch a Red Sox batter saw, Rob Refsnyder hit a ball down the left-field line that just bounced on the line and went for a double. While Rodón then very nearly managed to work around that, Anthony Volpe’s throw to first on a two-out grounder skipped past Paul Goldschmidt, allowing Boston to strike first.

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.

Aaron Judge is coming off his worst series of a season in which he has flirted with a .400 average, but the New York Yankees are not concerned.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora wanted his twin 7-year-old sons to meet the Yankees' Aaron Judge, the biggest star of his team's AL East foe.

The topic was discussed with a few Yankees after LeMahieu hit a ball that was deemed foul in the 10th inning of a 2-1 loss to the Red Sox on Friday.
