ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
The Red Sox shut down the Yankees offense Saturday, but it was a different story Sunday afternoon. Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge went yard in the third inning to extend New York's lead to 4-0. Tyler O'Neill answered back in the fourth inning with a two-run home run, but Boston's offensive woes continued to plague the club in the final weeks of the season. The offense gave the Bronx Bombers a scare in the ninth inning, but it was too little, too late.

STARS OF THE GAME
-- Judge continued his AL MVP run with a two-run home run Sunday. It was the Yankees star's lone hit of the game as he went 1-for-2 while drawing two walks.

-- Torres set the tempo as the leadoff man going 2-for-5 on the day, including his solo home run.

-- Connor Wong was Boston's most consistent batter of the afternoon. The Red Sox catcher went 3-for-4 with two doubles.
