Faced with the prospect of helping his team sweep their archrivals Sunday at Fenway, Red Sox starter Brayan Bello threw out his usual plan of attack and was rewarded with his best start of the season.

A massive sweep of the New York Yankees couldn't have happened without the Boston Red Sox shutting down Aaron Judge.

Dobbins finished with six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out five. "The stuff was good," Alex Cora said.

Another day, another new ninth-inning option for the Red Sox. Garrett Whitlock dominated Sunday, but that doesn't mean Aroldis Chapman is hurt.
