Hunter Dobbins shuts down Yankees to lift Red Sox
June 15 - Hunter Dobbins threw six shutout innings to lead the host Boston Red Sox to a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees Saturday.
After beating New York 2-1 Friday, the Red Sox have a chance to sweep the Yankees for the first time since August 2023.
Dobbins (4-1, 3.74 ERA) was dominant, allowing just two hits and walking one. He struck out five in 82 pitches.
The rookie right-hander has beaten Carlos Rodon and the Yankees in back-to-back starts.
Greg Weissert gave up a run in the ninth, but earned his second save.
Aaron Judge went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, giving him six strikeouts in the two games against the Red Sox.
Rodon (8-5, 3.01 ERA) gave up seven hits, four runs (three earned) and walked two in five-plus innings. He struck out four on 92 pitches.
The left-hander had not lost in two months before losing 11-7 to the Red Sox in his previous start.
The Red Sox opened the scoring in the first inning when leadoff hitter Rob Refsnyder doubled on the first pitch.
With two outs, Carlos Narvaez hit a grounder to deep shortstop. Anthony Volpe fielded the ball in the hole and threw the ball away at first. Refsnyder scored on the single and error.
Narvaez, who had the game-winning hit in the 10th inning Friday night, started a rally in the fourth with a leadoff double, then scored on a one-out double by Trevor Story.
The Red Sox scored again in the fifth.
Rookie Kristian Campbell was hit by a pitch with two strikes. Romy Gonzalez sent him home on a two-out double to right-center field for a 3-0 Boston lead.
Boston chased Rodon in the sixth. Story led off with a double off the Green Monster. Yerry De los Santos came in for Rodon. Ceddanne Rafaela bunted Story to third and rookie Marcelo Mayer sent him home with a sacrifice fly to left for a four-run lead.
The Yankees got on the board as soon as Dobbins left the game.
Reliever Luis Guerrero started the seventh by walking Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr. Jason Dominguez drove in Goldschmidt with a one-out single.
Austin Wells made it 4-2 by scoring Chisholm on a single off reliever Justin Wilson.
The threat ended when Wilson struck out DJ LeMahieu and Narvaez picked Dominguez off second base with Trent Grisham at the plate.

Man City and Argentina legend Sergio Aguero mocks Cristiano Ronaldo's Nations League triumph while taunting Speed as he sticks up for Lionel Messi at Club World Cup
Former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero mocked Cristiano Ronaldo for not appearing at the Club World Cup. Despite the tournament getting underway in the United States on Saturday with 32 teams taking part, Ronaldo will not feature. Al-Nassr failed to earn a spot in the competition after falling short in the four-year cycle to determine which teams would take part. It briefly appeared that the 40-year-old could still play a part however, with even FIFA president Gianni Infantino suggesting earlier this month that Ronaldo could join a participating team. However, Ronaldo ultimately opted to remain at Al-Nassr, the club he has captained since his high-profile departure from Manchester United. One person Ronaldo's absence at the competition clearly has not been lost on is former Argentina striker Aguero, who made a number of pointed remarks in a recent stream. Aguero!!! Absolute savage mode 😂 Speed got cooked! 🔥🤣 — Leo Messi 🔟 Fan Club (@WeAreMessi) June 15, 2025 Aguero appeared in IShowSpeed's stream this weekend, as the American asked him to set up a meeting between him and Lionel Messi. 'You're a very big fan of Cristiano, no?' Aguero asked. After Speed responded that he still wanted to meet Messi, Aguero continued: 'I respect it, it's OK. He's a good player. I prefer Messi, of course.' He then sarcastically asked why Ronaldo wasn't featuring at the Club World Cup. 'Ronaldo is playing here now at the Club World Cup or no?' he quipped. 'Maybe he'll have to watch on TV.' After Speed insisted that Ronaldo would lead his country to victory at next summer's World Cup, Aguero made a reference to Portugal's Nations League triumph. '[Ronaldo] just won the [Euros] no? Ah the Nations League, congratulations.'

BREAKING NEWS Riley Gaines announces she's pregnant days after Simone Biles attacked her trans athlete views
Riley Gaines and her husband Louis Baker are preparing to welcome their first child, a baby girl, together in September. Gaines, 26, made the announcement on Instagram on Saturday night, which comes days after she was enbroiled in a public feud with Simone Biles over trans athletes in women's sports. 'Surprise! we're 26 weeks pregnant,' she wrote in the post. 'God is SO good all the time.' Gaines, a former swimmer who now hosts an OutKick podcast, married Baker in 2022. But she hit the spotlight last week after Biles hit out at her for criticizing a Minnesota softball team that were competing with a trans pitcher - Gaines has consistenty campaigned against trans athletes competing in women's sports. 'You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser,' Biles said, referencing the 2022 NCAA Championships where Gaines competed against trans swimmer Lia Thomas. 'You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Riley Gaines Barker (@rileygbarker) The seven-time Olympic gold medalist then got personal in a follow-up tweet to Gaines, saying: 'bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.' Four days later, Biles publicly apologized and Gaines accepted. 'I've always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport,' BIles wrote. 'The current system doesn't adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn't help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for. 'These are sensitive, complicated issues that I truly don't have the answers or solutions to, but I believe it starts with empathy and respect. I was not advocating for policies that compromise fairness in women's sports.' According to Fox, Gaines first announced she was pregnant during a talk at Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit in Texas. 'How many men do you know that have this?' Gaines said as she showed the audience her baby bump. Her husband Barker added: 'The next generation that our little girl is going to be a part of, that is who you all are fighting for and who Turning Point is fighting for. And so from a father-to-be, thank you, keep fighting… and thank you.'
