The win improves the Red Sox to 66-50 on the season. They now have a 4.5 game lead in the AL East.
Benintendi Gives Red Sox Win
The Red Sox trailed 2-0 in the top of the third inning before Mookie Betts hit a two run single to left field that scored Jackie Bradley Jr. and Christian Vazquez, tying the game at 2.
On the very next at bat, Benintendi hit a three-run home run to right field on a 1-1 count to give the Red Sox a 5-2 lead.
After the Yankees got one run back in the fourth to make it 5-3, Benintendi hit his second three-run home run in the top of the fifth to put the Red Sox up 8-3.
Rafael Devers would hit a two run double later in the inning to put Boston up 10-3.
The Yankees would get two runs back in the bottom of the 9th, but would not threaten the Red Sox lead.
