The Boston Red Sox are leaving The Bronx as series winners.
The Red Sox picked up a 3-0 victory against the Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball, being led at the plate by Rafael Devers.
What are the main takeaways from the Red Sox’s series-clinching win over the Yankees?
Kutter Crawford got it done on the mound
Boston’s 28-year-old right-hander got the start in the series finale and looked untouchable.
In seven innings on the mound, Crawford held the Yankees scoreless, allowed just four hits and struck out four batters.
The Red Sox have had good pitching this season and tonight was another example.
Rafael Devers led the way with his bat
Boston’s star third baseman and three-time All-Star dominated at the plate in game three.
Devers went 3-4 with two home runs and two RBI.
The Red Sox are a better team when Devers is cooking at the plate.
Kenley Jansen continues to impress
One of the longest-tenured closers in the game has been a contributor to the Red Sox’s success in his second season with the club.
Jansen picked up his 18th save of the season tonight and struck a batter out in the process.
A dependable closer is a useful tool for any team to have and Boston is taking advantage of it.
Boston improved to 4-2 on the season against New York, taking two games at both Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium.
The Red Sox are now 49-40 on the season.
