The Yankees closed out a huge weekend in style, blasting the Red Sox 16-to-1 Sunday at Yankee Stadium to take three of four in the series and clinch the season series, 7 games to 6. Heliot Ramos delivered his first homer since being acquired from San Francisco at the trade deadline — a three-run shot that capped a five-run fifth inning. Austin Wells added two two-run homers in a nine-run eighth, and Jose Caballero, filling in at shortstop, launched a three-run blast of his own. Will Warren picked up the win, improving to 9-and-6.
The Yankees improve to 78-and-59, now four games clear of Boston for the top American League Wild Card spot, with the head-to-head tiebreaker locked up if the two teams finish level.
