BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Cam Schlittler<\/a> limited the team he rooted for growing up to four hits over eight innings, and the New York Yankees<\/a> rallied twice to beat the Boston Red Sox<\/a> 4-2 on Thursday night for a three-game sweep and a season-high six-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

With his family cheering on at Fenway Park, Schlittler (3-1) allowed two runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 while striking out five, walking one and lowering his ERA to 1.77.<\/p>\n

It was the longest outing in 20 regular-season starts for the 25-year-old right-hander from Weymouth, who pitched eight shutout innings to beat the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium in last year\u2019s AL Wild Card Series.<\/p>\n

David Bedner tossed a perfect ninth for his seventh save in eight chances, dropping the last-place Red Sox (9-16) seven games back of New York with their fifth loss in six games. Boston scored three runs in the series.<\/p>\n

Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/a> tied the score 1-1 for the AL-best Yankees (16-9) with a fifth-inning homer off rookie Payton Tolle<\/a>. Chisholm\u2019s first home run of the season was the shortest of his big league career, a 333-foot shot around the Pesky Pole in right.<\/p>\n

Marcelo Mayer<\/a>\u2019s RBI double following shortstop Jos\u00e9 Caballero\u2019s second-inning throwing error and Carlos Narv\u00e1ez\u2019s fifth-inning homer twice provided leads for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n

After New York loaded the bases in the seventh off Danny Coulombe<\/a> (0-1) on three singles, Cody Bellinger<\/a> put the Yankees ahead with a two-run single off former Yankee Greg Weissert<\/a> for just his fifth hit in 31 at-bats as a pinch-hitter. The Yankees had not had a go-ahead pinch hit while trailing at Fenway since Elston Howard on April 23, 1967.<\/p>\n

Aaron Judge<\/a> followed with an RBI single.<\/p>\n

Tolle, called up from Triple-A Worcester and making his first major league appearance this season, struck out a career-high 11 \u2014 including his first five batters. He allowed one run, three hits and one walk in six innings. <\/p>\n

New York faced a left-handed starter for the fifth straight game for the first time since April 21-25, 2016.<\/p>\n

The Yankees\u2019 Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> struck out a season-high four times.<\/p>\n

Boston\u2019s Roman Anthony<\/a> was sidelined for the second straight game with back tightness. <\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Yankees: RHP Will Warren<\/a> (2-0, 2.49) starts Friday at Houston, which goes with RHP Lance McCullers (1-1, 6.20). <\/p>\n

Red Sox: RHP Bryan Bello (1-2, 6.75) takes the mound Friday at Baltimore, which starts RHP Brandon Young<\/a> (1-0, 0.00).<\/p>\n
