BOSTON — – Caleb Durbin<\/a> broke a tie with a two-run homer in the fifth inning, Connelly Early<\/a> allowed two runs over six innings and the Boston Red Sox<\/a> beat the New York Yankees<\/a> 6-3 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman<\/a> bounced back after two losses for his 15th save of the season. Nate Eaton<\/a> and Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a> each drove in a run for Boston, which beat the Yankees at Fenway Park for the first time this season. New York swept a three-game series at Fenway back in April.<\/p>\n

Durbin’s homer came off Yankees starter Cam Schlittler<\/a> (8-4) and came one day after his left pinkie was dislocated against Colorado. The third baseman was in starting lineup and sent a shot into the first row of the Green Monster seats for his fifth homer this month.<\/p>\n

Early (7-5) struck out a season-high nine. He allowed five hits and walked two.<\/p>\n

Jose Caballero<\/a> homered for New York.<\/p>\n

Schlittler lowered his ERA from 1.71 to 1.62 but left with New York trailing 4-2. The right-hander allowed four runs – none were earned – on five hits while striking out nine.<\/p>\n

New York took a 2-0 lead into the fifth inning courtesy of an RBI single by Jasson Dominguez<\/a> and Caballero’s eighth homer. Durbin’s blast capped off Boston’s four-run rally in the fifth, which was aided by one of four errors committed by the Yankees.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox endured a rocky travel schedule involving their departing charter flight from Denver that didn’t land in Boston until 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey was ejected by first-base umpire Tyler Jones in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

The Yankees will send RHP Will Warren<\/a> (7-2, 3.45) to the mound Friday night. The Red Sox will counter with LHP Payton Tolle<\/a> (3-4, 3.08).<\/p>\n
