It’s too bad baseball went away from the unbalanced schedules, because the Boston Red Sox<\/a> could really use a bunch more games against the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox beat their AL East archrivals 4-1 on Sunday night, completing a doubleheader and series sweep that brought them just two games behind their longtime nemeses in the division. Boston won the series opener 15-5, and then took Sunday’s day game 6-2 in a makeup of Saturday’s rainout.<\/p>\n

“We like playing them. They like playing against us,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora<\/a> said. “It\u2019s fun playing against them. Regardless of where we are in the standings, it\u2019s always fun. They have a good team; they\u2019ll be there in the hunt. And we want to be where they were last year.”<\/p>\n

The Red Sox (37-35) improved to 5-1 against the Yankees<\/a> (39-33) this season, with nine more games to play. In the unbalanced schedule that governed until this year, the division rivals played each other 19 times a season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time the Red Sox have swept the Yankees in a doubleheader since 2006, and the first time they did at Fenway Park since since 1976.<\/p>\n

“Sweeping any team is pretty good,” said Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran, who made a nice catch against the bullpen wall in the night game. “Three games in a row sweeping a really good team like the Yankees \u2014 they\u2019re going really good \u2014 it\u2019s always good momentum. And I can\u2019t wait to see what we can do on this on this road trip.”<\/p>\n

Alex Verdugo had an RBI double in the day game and then took advantage of some Yankees bloopers in the nightcap, scoring on a catcher\u2019s interference to break a fourth-inning tie and then scoring again in the fifth after reaching on a dropped popop.<\/p>\n

Brayan Bello (4-4) struck out a career-high eight batters in the second game, allowing one run and four hits and three walks in seven innings. Kenley Jansen<\/a> pitched the ninth to earn his 15th save.<\/p>\n

Luis Severino<\/a> (0-2) gave up four runs \u2014 three earned \u2014 and seven hits with three walks while striking out six.<\/p>\n

The night game featured some rare crisp defense by the Red Sox, with Duran making a catch against the bullpen wall in the center field triangle and Pablo Reyes making two plays at shortstop. But it also featured a catcher\u2019s interference, a batter\u2019s interference, one pickoff for each team and a caught stealing.<\/p>\n

In the day game, Gleyber Torres hit a first-inning, two-run homer for the Yankees, who were without slugger and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge<\/a> for the 11th straight game because of a sprained right toe. They are 8-13 when he\u2019s been on the injured list this season.<\/p>\n

“That’s the story line,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said between games. “We’re going to get beat over the head with that. The reality is: That team we’re rolling out there is capable of doing damage offensively. … That, to me, is just an excuse right now.”<\/p>\n

Connor Wong\u2019s hit a double off the Green Monster against Michael King (1-3) in the day game to give the Red Sox a 3-2 lead. Two pitches later, Verdugo hit an RBI double as well. Nick Pivetta (4-4), demoted to the bullpen in mid-May, worked three perfect innings of relief with four strikeouts for the victory.<\/p>\n

LOOKING BETTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judge visited with fans, signing autographs and taking pictures on the field outside New York\u2019s dugout about 2 1\/2 hours before the start. When finished, he said he was heading for some “rehab treatments.” Boone said the slugger “looks better” and “seems to be walking better.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, Judge had a second platelet-rich plasma injection on his sprained right toe. “I know he was pretty beat up (Friday). He was in a lot of pain,” Boone said.<\/p>\n

TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yankees: Boone said outfielder Harrison Bader (strained right hamstring) “should be good to go” and come off the injured list on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Red Sox: Cora didn\u2019t know yet if right-hander Tanner Houck would need surgery for a facial fracture he suffered when he was hit under the right eye by a line drive off the bat of the Yankees\u2019 Kyle Higashioka on Friday.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yankees: Off Monday before starting a three-game series in Seattle<\/a>. Gerrit Cole<\/a> (7-1) will face George Kirby (6-5) in the opener.<\/p>\n

Red Sox: Open a four-game series at Minnesota<\/a>, with James Paxton (2-1) facing Pablo Lopez (3-3).<\/p>\n
