BOSTON — For the second weekend in a row, the Red Sox snatched a series from the Yankees.
But unlike last weekend’s three-game set in the Bronx, in which the Red Sox took two of three contests with a pair of one-run victories, the Fenway series has been heavy on bat power, a welcome change after weeks of low-scoring contests.
At the outset, the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader looked like an uphill climb. Instead of Brayan Bello starting on Saturday night, torrential downpour forced a postponement to Sunday, and the Red Sox decided that Bello would start the second game.
