The Yankees were shut out by the Red Sox on Sunday afternoon, an embarrassing 2-0 loss. They’re now 1-5 against Boston this season and 8-11 against teams in the American League East. Boston is now only 6 1/2 games back in the division while Toronto and Tampa Bay have also started to close the gap.

As a result, the Yankees took a 2-0 loss to the Red Sox Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park to complete a three-game sweep at the hands of their rivals. It is the first time they have been swept in a series this season.

Brayan Bello struck out eight over seven innings, Rafael Devers homered and Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 2-0 for a three-game sweep that extended their winning streak to five.
