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.

Aaron Judge blasts home run 469 feet, nearly out of Kauffman Stadium in matchup vs. Royals
It wasn't the longest home run of Aaron Judge's career, but it sure looked like it. The New York Yankees' star absolutely obliterated a ball that nearly made it out of Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday in Kansas City. Judge, in the first inning of the Yankees' matchup with the Royals, smashed a home run that traveled 469 feet and almost cleared the Hall of Fame wall out in left field. Advertisement Judge, with his team suddenly up 2-0, trotted around the bases like it was nothing. While he has hit plenty like it in his career, Tuesday's shot was a rare one for the stadium. The home run was the seventh-longest of Judge's career and his 12th that has traveled at least 465 feet, the league announced. The longest home run of Judge's career came back in 2017, when he hit a ball that went 496 feet against the Toronto Blue Jays. That's tied for the fifth-longest in the Statcast Era, which dates to 2015. Judge entered Tuesday's game with a .396 batting average and a 1.264 OPS, both of which lead the league. The home run was his 24th of the season, which trails only Seattle Mariners star Cal Raleigh. Judge also has a league-high 96 hits. Advertisement The Yankees took a 39-25 record into Tuesday's game, which kicked off a three-game series with the Royals. This post will be updated with more information.

MLB's No. 1 prospect, Roman Anthony, collects first hit, a two-run double
Roman Anthony wasted little time collecting his first major-league hit. The No. 1 prospect in baseball hit a two-run double to left in his first at-bat on Tuesday to give the Boston Red Sox a 2-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony came to the plate in the bottom of the first with two on and two out against Tampa Bay Rays starter Ryan Pepiot and fell behind 0-2. He took a ball with the next pitch then sliced a changeup outside the zone to left field. His family was in attendance to witness his first hit, and as is customary, the ball was saved. A proud Anthony family moment. 😊 — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 10, 2025 Anthony debuted on Monday, going 0-for-4 with a walk and an RBI groundout.
