The AL East-leading Yankees beat the Red Sox on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win.
Torres hit a three-run, Little League homer to break a fifth-inning scoreless tie, and the AL East-leadingTorres had three hits — the big one a single that turned into a round-tripper when he took a wide turn around first base to draw a throw and then made it all the way home after the throw sailed into right field.A day after homering twice to reach 57 for the season — four short of Roger Maris' AL record — Judge went 1 for 4 with a walk.
Judge came around to score, and Torres slid in head first to beat the relay. Judge was waiting at home to help him to his feet — and celebrate.Nestor Cortes took a shutout into the fifth inning to give the Yankees the two-game sweep and their eighth win in 10 games. Boston managed just three hits and two walks off Cortes, who struck out seven and gave up one run in five-plus innings.Red Sox rookie Brayan Bello took the loss even though all three runs he allowed were unearned.
"I wanted to do something different with him," Cortes said."As soon as I lifted up my leg, all hell broke loose." "I think of it as I go, and all the stuff that comes out is literally as I go," Cortes said."I was just happy it was a competitive pitch."The Yankees led 4-1 in the eighth when reliever Jonathan Loáisiga allowed three singles to load the bases with one out.
