Both the Kansas City Royals and the Boston Red Sox are looking for a series win with a victory on Sunday.
Aaron Judge homered for the second consecutive game and the New York Yankees got a big effort from their bullpen in a 5-4 victory over the Houston Astros. Michael Brantley hit his first home run since June 2022 for the Astros, who fell a game behind first-place Seattle in the AL West. The Mariners beat the New York Mets 8-7. Brantley had a two-run shot in the second inning and scored on Yainer Diaz’s two-run homer in the fourth. After starter Luis Severino lasted only four innings, New York relievers Jhony Brito, Wandy Peralta and Clay Holmes posted zeros the rest of the way.
