The Yankees suffered their first regular-season series sweep since last July as the Red Sox dominated at Fenway Park, with New York batters hitting just .160 against Boston pitching.

Brayan Bello was brilliant on the mound for the Red Sox on Sunday, tossing seven scoreless innings to help Boston sweep the Yankees.

The Red Sox are the only team that can deliver the thrill of a sweep over the Yankees and, within hours, the gut punch of an unexpected Rafael Devers trade.

Rafael Devers has been dealt to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, James Tibbs and Jose Belo according to multiple reports. The stunning and out-of-nowhere trade shifts the landscape of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry as the 28-year-old hit .270 with 31 homers and 78 RBI in 119 games against the Bombers.

The Boston Red Sox have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the past week—winning five straight games, seven of their last eight, and capping it off with a sweep of the New York Yankees on Sunday.

Faced with the prospect of helping his team sweep their archrivals Sunday at Fenway, Red Sox starter Brayan Bello threw out his usual plan of attack and was rewarded with his best start of the season.

The illusion of contention and more talk about better days ahead is a tough sell for a once-great franchise. The Giants on Sunday told their fans that they are about winning this year. The Red Sox did just the opposite.
