BOSTON — Carlos Narváez hit an RBI single off the left-field wall in the 10th inning after Aaron Judge hit a tying solo home run in the ninth, and the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 2-1 on Friday night.

Boston has won its last three against its longtime rivals. The loss snaps a three-game overall winning streak for New York, which was coming off a sweep of Kansas City.

Jarren Duran grounded out to open the bottom of the 10th, moving automatic runner David Hamilton to third. Reliever Tim Hill (3-2) then walked Rafael Devers. After a strikeout, Narváez came to the plate and sent a ball off the Green Monster.

Garrett Whitlock (5-0) pitched a scoreless 10th to salvage a master performance by Boston starter Garrett Crochet, who pitched a career-high 8 1/3 innings, yielding four hits and striking out seven.

Crochet struck out Judge each of the first three times he faced him. His luck ran out the fourth time, as Judge unloaded on Crochet’s seventh pitch of the at-bat — a 99.6 mph fastball — belting it 443 feet over the Green Monster.

Crochet was replaced by Aroldis Chapman, who got the final two outs of the ninth.

Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough gave up four hits over 4 2/3 innings, walked three and struck out three.

Boston’s Ceddanne Rafaela hit an RBI single in the second inning.

Key moment

With two outs in the 10th, Yankees manager Aaron Boone challenged a foul ball call on a grounder by DJ LaMahieu down the first-base line. A review determined it to be foul. Boone came out to argue and was ejected.

Key stats

Judge is 1 for 7 with six strikeouts against Crochet this season.

Up next

LHP Carlos Rodón (8-4, 2.87 ERA) took the loss in the finale of last week’s series against the Red Sox. RHP Hunter Dobbins (3-1, 4.20) has won each of his last three starts.
