BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Giancarlo Stanton hit a solo homer in the second and added a two-run double as the New York Yankees extended their winning streak to four straight with a 4-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Stanton, who sat out a 7-0 win over Kansas City on Sunday after going 0-for-9 in his previous two games, drove in the first three runs for New York and gave starter Luis Gil all the offense he needed against the struggling Red Sox.<\/p>\n
Gil (1-1) picked up his first win of the season holding Boston to just two hits as the Yankees outhit the Red Sox 10-4 and cruised to their major league-leading fifth shutout of the season. Cody Bellinger extended his hitting streak to nine straight with a single in the eighth and scored on Randal Grichuk\u2019s double to center.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox went without a hit from Marcelo Mayer’s double in the second until Carlos Narv\u00e1ez singled in the eighth. Boston lost for the third time in four games.<\/p>\n
Gil hadn\u2019t gone more than five innings in either of his previous two starts. He went 6 1\/3 on Tuesday with two strikeouts and three walks.<\/p>\n
Stanton led off the second with a towering shot to left, driving a 1-0 slider from Connelly Early (1-1) over the Green Monster for his third homer of the season and New York\u2019s 19th in the last eight games.<\/p>\n
Stanton drove in two more in the sixth with a drive off the scoreboard in left-center, bringing in Amed Rosario and Aaron Judge after the Yankees led off the inning with back-to-back walks. Stanton was robbed of another hit in the eighth when Mayer made a leaping catch at the center-field wall.<\/p>\n
New York’s Ben Rice, who had homered in four straight games, was 0-for-4 \u2014 striking out all four times.<\/p>\n
