The baseball world was stunned on Sunday evening when, just hours after the Boston Red Sox completed a sweep of the New York Yankees, news broke that they had agreed to trade three-time All-Star Rafael Devers—one of the purest hitters in the game—to the San Francisco Giants.

The defining victory of Boston's season to this point featured a dramatic swing of emotions in the ninth and 10th innings.

The Red Sox have endured a disappointing first half of the season, but the one bright spot is that they’ve had their bitter rival’s number. The Sox defeated the Yankees, 2-1, in 10 innings Friday night, giving them their third win in four tries against the Bombers this season.
