Cody Bellinger drove in two runs with a pinch-hit single to help the visiting New York Yankees extend their winning streak to six games by beating the Boston Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night.
Bellinger singled against reliever Greg Weissert with two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning. The hit, which drove in Jazz Chisholm and Trent Grisham, put the Yankees in front 3-2.
Aaron Judge followed with an RBI single that scored Jose Caballero to give New York a 4-2 lead. Each of the three runs the Yankees scored in the seventh were charged to Danny Coulombe (0-1), who surrendered three hits in 2/3 of an inning.
Cam Schlittler (3-1) held Boston to two runs on four hits in eight innings to earn the win. He struck out five and walked one. David Bednar pitched a clean ninth to collect his seventh save.
The victory gave the Yankees a sweep of the three-game series. New York won 4-0 Tuesday and 4-1 Wednesday.
Boston has not scored more than two runs in any of its last six losses. The Red Sox scored six runs in those six games.
Carlos Narvaez homered for Boston. It was a solo home run off Schlittler in the fifth inning that broke a 1-1 tie.
Payton Tolle, who was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, gave the Red Sox a strong start. Tolle struck out 11 in six innings and limited New York to one run on three hits. He walked one.
Tolle, who was 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in Triple-A, struck out the first five batters he faced.
Boston took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second. Trevor Story reached base on Amed Rosario's throwing error, and scored on Marcelo Mayer's double to center field.
Chisholm's home run made it 1-1 in the fifth.
Chisholm (2-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI) and Caballero (2-for-4, 1 run) were the only players on either side to record multiple hits.
The Yankees fanned 17 times, including four from Giancarlo Stanton and three from Judge.
The Red Sox have lost five of their last six.
