The Boston Red Sox (70-59) and the New York Yankees (69-59) continue their American League East rivalry series on Saturday. Boston has taken the first two games, with a 1-0 win over the Yankees on Friday.

Brayan Bello’s dominant, seven-inning start Friday was more than just another stellar outing against the Yankees in a long line of them. It was yet another reminder that Bello has emerged as a staff force so far in 2025.

Bello tossed seven shutout innings. Nathaniel Lowe came through with a pinch-hit double and scored on Connor Wong’s double in the seventh.

The squirrel emerged near the Red Sox dugout on the third-base line, running into Boston’s rookie outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia before making his way to the mound. Fried then stood and watched the squirrel make himself at home, standing for a few moments on the dirt before scampering off toward first base.

Bello spun seven scoreless innings, holding a potent Yankees lineup to three singles and a walk and striking out five in a 1-0 Red Sox win.
