BOSTON – Giancarlo Stanton continued his strong history at Fenway Park on Tuesday evening, smashing a second-inning home run off Connelly Early's slider that clipped a light tower and left the park at 111.5 mph. The designated hitter broke a 17-at-bat hitless streak against left-handers with the blast, putting the Yankees ahead early in their 4-0 win over the Red Sox. Early kept New York scoreless through five innings before Stanton struck again in the sixth with a two-run double to left-center, scoring Amed Rosario and Aaron Judge to extend the lead to 3-0. Stanton finished with three RBIs, capitalizing on the park's unique dimensions that suit his power swing. Luis Gil dominated for New York, tossing 6 1/3 scoreless innings in his third start of the season, allowing just two hits, three walks and two strikeouts despite lower velocity. Gil entered with a 0.99 ERA in five career starts against Boston and limited damage even with fewer swings and misses. Randal Grichuk added insurance in the eighth with an RBI double, marking his second RBI as a Yankee. The Red Sox offense struggled throughout, failing to score against Gil and the Yankees bullpen.
