The Yankees dismantled the Red Sox 16-1 on Saturday at Yankee Stadium, turning a scoreless game through four innings into a runaway victory. New York scored five times in the fifth, added single runs in the sixth and seventh, then erupted for nine in the eighth. Will Warren held Boston scoreless for seven innings, while Austin Wells supplied two home runs and five RBIs from the cleanup spot.

Wells delivered the defining offensive performance, going 2-for-2 with two homers, five RBIs and two runs scored. Heliot Ramos also went deep and drove in three, while Jose Caballero finished with three hits, a home run, three RBIs and three runs. Paul Goldschmidt added three hits, including a homer and three RBIs, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. reached twice and scored three times. The nine-run eighth transformed a strong Yankees lead into a 15-run margin and pushed New York to 78-59, while Boston fell to 74-63.

The result strengthens New York's position in the standings and gives its pitching staff a clean, efficient win behind Warren's seven shutout innings. Boston leaves with a broader problem: after holding the Yankees scoreless early, its pitching could not contain the middle of the order once New York found the strike zone and the damage began. The Yankees now carry the sharper form and the clearer edge in this rivalry matchup.
