Enthusiastic fans came out to support the home team at Yankee Stadium.

The New York Yankees racked up a win at Yankee Stadium, bumping off the Boston Red Sox, 5-2. Nestor Cortes, who started for New York, pitched effectively for his team. With the win, New York pushed its record to 86-63.

Joc Pederson had a big grand slam home run for the Yankees in the bottom of the fifth inning. With New York trailing 2-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Brayan Bello, who is tied for 10th in the AL in wins with 13, and swatted a home run to right. It was his 33rd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Yankees ahead, 5-2.

Pederson called it "a solid win."
