Sonny Gray had a memorable night for the Boston Red Sox, taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning and reaching 2,000 career strikeouts against the New York Yankees, a team he once played for and openly dislikes. Gray’s performance helped Boston secure a thrilling 5-4 victory in 10 innings, completing a four-game sweep of their rivals at Fenway Park. Despite the Yankees briefly taking the lead in extra innings, the Red Sox rallied with Jarren Duran’s game-winning single. Gray, who has played for several teams since leaving New York, expressed gratitude for the support from Boston fans. The win marked Boston’s longest winning streak of the season, though they remain in last place in their division. The Yankees, meanwhile, fell behind Tampa Bay in the AL East standings. Gray’s outing was notable for holding the Yankees hitless through the first four innings, a feat not achieved since 1963.
