Summary
Boston enters Sunday night seeking a three-game sweep after a 4-1 win Saturday, one of the few bright spots in a 35-46 season.
10 straight quality starts have powered the surge — Boston’s longest such run since 1988 — with Connelly Early, Payton Tolle and Jake Bennett allowing three runs over 19 1/3 innings this series.
New York arrives 48-34 but has lost six of eight and produced just one run on three hits in each of the last two games, slipping out of first place by percentage points.
Sonny Gray, 9-1 with a 2.95 ERA, starts for Boston after going 7-0 in nine outings since returning May 6; Carlos Rodon, 4-2 with a 3.70 ERA, starts for the Yankees.
