Yankees replacements rout Red Sox to take series

They won a second straight over Boston on Sunday night in The Bronx, 9-1, and finished the series seven back of the AL East-leading Red Sox, the closest they’ve been since June 27. Jameson Taillon provided 5 ²/₃ scoreless innings and Gleyber Torres went deep again, but they also got production and good baserunning from recent call-ups Greg Allen and Ryan LaMarre — up because of the recent COVID outbreak that’s affected the Yankees.
