Red Sox hit 5 home runs and overcome 2 by Judge in 11-7 win over Yankees
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Narvaez 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 Rodon (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 Loaisiga.
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. … 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.

Red Sox call up top prospect Roman Anthony 2 days after 497-foot grand slam in minors
Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Roman Anthony was in Worcester, waiting for the 275-mile bus ride that would take him to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for his next Triple-A game, when WooSox manager Chad Tracy told the team their departure would be delayed because someone might need to head an hour east to Boston instead. 'I didn't really think anything of it, to be honest,' Anthony told reporters in the Red Sox dugout at Fenway Park before making his major league debut Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays. 'I was just kind of waiting around in the food room with a few of the guys, and then all of a sudden he came out and just said, 'Hey, you're going to the big leagues,'' Anthony said. 'From there on out it's kind of been a little bit of a blur. But it was amazing. You dream of that every single day. So, to finally hear it was definitely awesome.' A 21-year-old second-round draft pick who went viral over the weekend when he hit a 497-foot grand slam in Worcester, Anthony was the top-rated prospect in the minors before his call-up. He batted .288 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 58 games in Triple-A this season. His accomplishments in the minors had Red Sox fans clamoring for his call-up, especially with the team languishing in fourth place in the AL East, 8 1/2 games behind the rival New York Yankees. But while fellow prospects Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer got the call, the Red Sox remained patient on Anthony until an injury to Wilyer Abreu left them needing another outfielder. 'It's been a long time coming,' said Mayer, who was called up about two weeks ago. 'It's been talked about for a very long time, and it's kind of crazy that today's the day that we're all going to share the field together in the big leagues. I'm super excited. I think we have a really good team, and he's just another great addition to that.' Cora said he noticed something was wrong with Abreu after Sunday's game against the Yankees. When the team realized it would be more than a day or two, they decided to make the move and put Abreu on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. The Red Sox made room for Anthony on the 40-man roster by designating first baseman/outfielder Ryan Noda for assignment. 'We're trying to win ballgames,' Cora said. 'The kid has done an amazing job getting ready for this moment. We're excited. It's a big day for the organization.' Anthony had time to call his parents and siblings and an old baseball coach and gather most of his equipment — his own glove, a single bat and a borrowed pair of cleats — before driving down the MassPike to Boston. 'It happened quick,' Anthony said. 'I think no matter when that call comes, nobody's really expecting it.' Anthony was perhaps known only to the most dedicated fans before his homer on Saturday that was the longest measured this year by Statcast, which tracks the major leagues, Triple-A and the Class A Florida State League. Since Statcast started tracking in the majors in 2015, only five home runs have gone farther, including Nomar Mazara's 505-foot shot in 2019 for the Rangers. On Monday night, he was playing right field and batting fifth, taking aim at the historic red seat that marks Ted Williams' 502-foot homer that is the longest ever at Fenway Park. 'Obviously a little bit of a short notice,' he said. 'But, you know, better than being on the bus to Lehigh Valley right now.' ___ AP MLB: recommended

Billy Boston to become rugby league's first knight
Billy Boston will receive rugby league's first knighthood in a special ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. Cardiff-born Boston, 90, blazed a trail for black sports stars during the 1950s and 1960s, making 488 appearances for Wigan and finishing his career with a British record 571 tries to his name. Advertisement He also became the first non-white player to represent Great Britain on a Lions tour in 1954, scoring 36 tries in 18 appearances in Australia and New Zealand, and featuring in a total of 31 international Test matches. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said: 'Billy Boston's knighthood is a historic milestone providing fitting recognition for the greatest player rugby league has ever seen. 'As MP for Wigan, this is a proud day for our town, for the Welsh nation, for rugby league fans across the country and, most importantly, for Billy and his family. 'The first knighthood for a rugby league player is long overdue recognition for a game that has contributed so much to our national life. This is the moment we right a historic wrong.' Boston made a try-scoring debut for Wigan against Barrow in November 1953, and by the time he left the club in 1968, he had played in six Challenge Cup finals at Wembley, featuring on the winning side in 1958, 1959 and 1965. Advertisement Wigan owner Mike Danson said he was 'thrilled' by Boston's award, describing it as 'a richly deserved honour which means this most humble of men rightly receives, at last, fitting recognition for his extraordinary efforts'. Boston's honour followed a sustained campaign by local councillors and MPs as well as leading figures in the sport, who have frequently pointed out the relative lack of recognition for rugby league compared to union, which has seen 20 knights anointed. Billy Boston (front row, far left) featured in six Challenge Cup finals with Wigan (PA Archive) Rugby Football League chief executive Tony Sutton said: 'On behalf of the Rugby Football League, and the sport of rugby league, it is a privilege to congratulate Sir Billy Boston on his knighthood. Advertisement 'Sir Billy deserves to be recognised as an iconic figure in the history of British sport, for the way he overcame prejudice in his journey from working-class Cardiff to legendary status in Wigan, and became the most prolific British try-scorer in the 130-year history of rugby league.' The full King's Birthday Honours list is set to be announced later this week. It is understood Boston's award was brought forward due to concerns about his health.

'Call Her Daddy' podcast host Alex Cooper accuses former college soccer coach of sexual harassment
"Call Her Daddy" podcast host Alex Cooper accused former Boston University soccer coach Nancy Feldman of sexual harassment in her forthcoming documentary set to appear on Hulu. "Call Her Alex" goes through Cooper's career as a high schooler to wildly successful podcast host and influencer. But she revealed in the film there was a dark side to her life growing up. Cooper went to Boston University to play soccer for the Terriers from 2013-2015. She revealed in the documentary she left the team before her senior season. She appeared in 21 games for Boston University in her junior and sophomore seasons and played 19 in her freshman year. As the film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, Deadline reported that Cooper said she was sexually harassed by Feldman which led to her leaving the team. Cooper said the alleged incidents started her sophomore year, claiming that Feldman started to focus more on her personal life than her sporting life. She said Feldman asked her questions about her sex life and would put her hand on her leg. "I started to notice her really starting to fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine," she said in the documentary. "And it was confusing because the focus wasn't like, 'You're doing so well, let's get you on the field, you're gonna be a starter.' "It was all based on (Feldman) wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me." Cooper said she would try to avoid Feldman, but the coach would retaliate by cutting her playing time. She reportedly opened up more about the incident in a question-and-answer session following the documentary's debut. "And the minute I stepped back on the field, I felt so small," she said, via Deadline. "I felt just like I was 18 years old again. And I was in a situation with someone in a position of power who abused their power. And I felt like I wasn't the 'Call Her Daddy' girl. I wasn't someone who had money and influence or whatever it be. I was just another woman who experienced harassment on a level that changed my life forever and took away the thing I loved the most." Fox News Digital reached out to Boston University and Feldman for comment. Feldman retired from coaching in 2022. Cooper alleged that university officials dismissed her concerns and lawyers she spoke to warned that litigation could drag out for years.
