The Red Sox called up Brian Van Belle from Triple A Worcester and designated Robert Stock for assignment. Van Belle, 28, has never pitched in the majors before, but he had a 2.29 ERA in 12 games (eight starts) with Worcester.

Ceddanne Rafaela is starting in right field tonight for the first time in his career. Red Sox lineup versus the Rays: Duran LF Devers DH Toro 1B Story SS Mayer 3B Campbell CF Hamilton 2B Rafaela RF Wong C — Bello P

Vaughn Grissom to @alexspeier on Roman Anthony: “Get him out of here. Even though he’s a kid, he’s still like a man amongst [everyone] around here.” https://t.co/3oretKuKW1

Carlos Narvaez, strike-stealer extraordinaire, welcomes MLB’s robot-aided future — even if it is to the detriment of catchers of his ilk. And more Red Sox notes: https://t.co/JqnoPPzdOK

“Honestly, any series win at this point is huge,” Trevor Story said. “We know the type of team we can be. How we played here this weekend shows that. “It’s just a matter of doing it consistently and finding ways to have that come out more often.” More: https://t.co/1HoKRS8tFN

Alex Cora said he considered resting Carlos Narvaez today. Narvaez said he considered bunting in the sixth inning. Neither happened. Instead, he hit a three-run home run that gave the Red Sox the lead for good, a "special" moment, he said, for the longtime Yankees minor leaguer.

FINAL: Red Sox 11, Yankees 7. The Red Sox, who hit five home runs tonight, took two of three games in the series. This is the first time the Red Sox have won back-to-back games since putting Alex Bregman on the IL (May 24).

Greg Weissert was warming up in the seventh inning. The Red Sox tacked on a couple of runs; he sat down. Zack Kelly allowed a leadoff hit in the eighth, Weissert immediately got back up. Now he's in the game. Not what the Sox preferred. Red Sox 9, Yankees 5, bottom 8

Anthony Volpe tried to tag out Trevor Story during his trot around the bases on his borderline home run. Oops. Red Sox 9, Yankees 5, top 8

Hunter Dobbins's final line against the Yankees: 5 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 0 K. He is in line for the win.

Kristian Campbell hit a two-run home run off Carlos Rodon. This puppy is all tied up. Red Sox 2, Yankees 2, top 5 https://t.co/VGxjjXsXs3

The funniest part of this Hunter Dobbins/Yankees thing is the Yankee Stadium crowd had no reaction as he took the mound for the bottom of the first. I thought maybe he'd get booed. As always, the internet is not real life.

More Cora on Roman Anthony: "I still believe he’s not the final product, just like Marcelo and Campbell and Ceddanne and Wilyer. There’s things players need to do better and they will, with more games and experience. At what level? I don’t know."

Alex Cora said it is "fair" to say the Red Sox talk regularly internally about when to promote Roman Anthony. "It’s just a matter of what we’re going to do, how we’re going to do it, when we’re going to do it," he said. "I keep getting the questions and that’s my best answer."
