Bennett anchored the performance with a scoreless start, working through the game’s middle innings while limiting the Yankees’ offense and striking out seven. The bullpen followed with clean work to preserve the shutout effort.
Wilyer Abreu gave Boston the lead in the first on a line-drive homer to right-center field. That early swing stood as the go-ahead play, and Boston later added insurance in the ninth to finish the game firmly in control.
Carlos Rodon took the loss for New York after departing with Boston ahead. The Yankees managed only a few hits and never produced a scoring play.
Boston extended its winning streak, while New York’s losing streak continued. The night belonged to pitching control from the opening homer through the final out.
