BOSTON — Andrew Benintendi's hit bounced a handful of times before finding its way into center field for the winning run and a big four-game sweep over the rival Yankees.
The Red Sox now find themselves in firm control of the AL East.
Benintendi's RBI single with two outs in the 10th capped Boston's rally from three runs down in the ninth against New York closer Aroldis Chapman, and the Red Sox completed a four-game sweep with a 5-4 victory Sunday night.
"Any 10 hopper that goes through for a hit feels pretty good," the usually quiet Benintendi said, breaking into a grin.
