The Rochester Red Wings held on for a 7-6 win over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs on Sunday, the kind of close finish that keeps a bullpen coach pacing. No individual stats were available from the box score, but the one-run margin tells the story well enough — Rochester needed every run it could get and managed to protect the lead when it counted.
In the Bronx, the Yankees got a pair of late home runs from Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm in the eighth inning to put away the Red Sox, 6-1. The back-to-back power wasn’t strictly necessary by that point — New York had the game well in hand — but it padded a win that moves the Yankees to 38-26 on the season. Boston falls to 27-36, continuing a rough stretch that has them well below .500 at the calendar’s midpoint.
No other tracked regional teams were in action Sunday. The Bills, Sabres, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Cornell, Hobart, Syracuse, and the Knighthawks were all off.
