Red Sox hit 5 home runs and overcome 2 by Judge in 11-7 win over Yankees
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Narváez put Boston ahead with a three-run homer against his former team, and the Red Sox overcame two home runs by Aaron Judge in an 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday night.
Rafael Devers also went deep as Boston equaled a season high with five longballs to take two of three games at Yankee Stadium in the first series this season between the longtime rivals.
Narváez signed with the Yankees in 2015 and broke into the big leagues with them last year, getting into six games before New York traded him to Boston in December. The rookie catcher gave the Red Sox a 5-3 lead in the sixth inning by lifting a fastball from Carlos Rodón (8-4) into the left-field seats.
Judge hit a pair of two-run homers for his fourth multihomer game this season and the 43rd of his career. He connected in the first off rookie Hunter Dobbins (3-1) and again in the ninth, ending the night with a .396 batting average.
Boston rookie Kristian Campbell hit a two-run homer to the short porch in right field off Rodón in the fifth. Abraham Toro and Trevor Story hit back-to-back solo shots in the eighth off Jonathan Loáisiga.
Jarren Duran had a two-run single off Yankees reliever Tim Hill in the sixth. Toro added an RBI double in the ninth.
Dobbins allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. A day after telling the Boston Herald, 'If the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire,' Dobbins heard little reaction from the crowd of 45,140.
DJ LeMahieu homered in the fifth to give New York a 3-2 lead.
Rodón permitted five runs and three hits in five-plus innings. The left-hander lost for the first time in eight decisions since April 13.
Key moments
Garrett Whitlock retired LeMahieu on a bases-loaded grounder to end the sixth after the Yankees had cut it to 7-5. … Aroldis Chapman, the seventh Boston reliever, fanned Anthony Volpe with two on for his 11th save.
Key stats
Boston scored 27 runs in the series, its most in a three-game set at Yankee Stadium since 2005. … Loáisiga has allowed four homers in nine appearances since returning from elbow surgery.
Up next
Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello (2-1, 3.91 ERA) opens a three-game series in Boston against Tampa Bay RHP Shane Baz (5-3, 4.96) on Monday night.
Yankees LHP Max Fried (8-1, 1.78 ERA) opposes rookie LHP Noah Cameron (2-1, 0.85) in the opener of a three-game series Tuesday at Kansas City.

Kristian Campbell clears the air on alleged beef with Rafael Devers
First things first. On opposite coasts and now in different organizations and at different levels of baseball, Rafael Devers and Kristian Campbell agree that Devers — who was traded to the Giants on Sunday — never took issue with his former Red Sox teammate agreeing to move from second base to first base to help the team when Devers himself wasn't willing to make the same kind of selfless switch. Yahoo Sports reported that Devers felt the top prospect Campbell's willingness to change positions to first base was a 'slight to his own stature' given the saga surrounding Devers all season. Advertisement Boston Red Sox second baseman Kristian Campbell (28) makes a catch for an out against the New York Yankees during the seventh inning at Fenway Park on June 15, 2025. Eric Canha-Imagn Images Devers didn't want to move off third base to make way for newcomer Alex Bregman but ultimately settled in at designated hitter. Then he refused to learn first base after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury, so the Red Sox turned to Campbell to take grounders before games. Advertisement 'Yeah, that was false,' Campbell told reporters at Triple-A Worcester, after he was sent down by the Red Sox. 'First off, Raffy never came to me. Never had a problem with it. We were always cool. He is an extremely great friend, extremely great person. Very kind person and a good teammate. 'Secondly, I never went to the Red Sox wanting to play first base. They came to me and asked me if I could play first base because we didn't have one at the time. That's when Casas went down. I said I would do it if it makes the team better. I would be willing to learn the position. That's basically how it went down.' Neither of them is playing first base for the Red Sox now because Campbell's struggles got him returned to the minors and Devers was traded to the Giants last week in a surprise blockbuster. Ahead of his second series with the Giants — against the Red Sox, of course — Devers denied having an issue with Campbell doing what he wouldn't. Advertisement San Francisco Giants designated hitter Rafael Devers (16) waits to bat against the Boston Red Sox in the first inning at Oracle Park on Friday night. Eakin Howard-Imagn Images 'I didn't say anything like that,' said Devers, via his interpreter when asked if there was any validity to the past reports. 'I really don't want to talk about it. I want to concentrate on what is ahead for me.' Devers is expected to play first base at some point for the Giants and said he would have for the Red Sox if they had asked him to pick it up during spring training rather than during the season.
