Austin Wells hit a sacrifice fly and Gleyber Torres added a two-run double in the 10th inning to finish the New York Yankees' 11-8 come-from-behind win over the host Boston Red Sox on Saturday night.

Tyler O'Neill (3-for-4, four RBIs) hit go-ahead homers in the fifth and seventh innings for the Red Sox, but New York scored single runs in the eighth and ninth to tie the game.

Aaron Judge went 4-for-4 with a double, homer, three RBIs and three runs to lead New York's 16-hit attack in making Sunday's game the rubber match of their three-game series.

Judge hit an RBI double in the eighth, though Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran started a relay that cut down Juan Soto, the potential tying run, at the plate.

In the ninth, Massachusetts native Ben Rice doubled with one out, and Trent Grisham's two-out double drove in pinch runner Jahmai Jones against Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen, who blew a save for the third time this season.

In the 10th, Torres crushed his double off the center field wall off Chase Anderson (0-2).

New York's Clay Holmes (2-4) threw two scoreless innings for the win.

O'Neill became the first player in Red Sox history to record three multi-homer games in a span of six games or fewer.

Boston starter Kutter Crawford and New York counterpart Marcus Stroman allowed three runs apiece in the first inning.

After Alex Verdugo (3-for-6, three runs) lined a leadoff single in the Yankees' first, Soto crushed a two-run homer into the bullpen to give the visitors an early lead. It was Soto's 27th of the season. Judge followed with a solo shot, his 37th homer, which leads the majors.

The Red Sox wasted little time responding, as Wilyer Abreu tagged a one-out homer to center in the first to cut the deficit to 2-1.

Back-to-back singles by Masataka Yoshida and Rafael Devers followed, and O'Neill came through with a two-run double past diving center fielder Grisham that tied the game at 3-3.

In the second, Oswaldo Cabrera got the Yankees back on the board with a two-out homer. Abreu, the right fielder, appeared to have the ball in his glove but couldn't hold on as he fell into the right field stands. But RBI singles by Duran and Yoshida in a span of three batters helped Boston climb in front 5-4.

The teams traded single runs again in the fifth. Judge knotted the score at 5-5 with an RBI single to left, before O'Neill knocked his first solo homer over the Green Monster to give the Red Sox the lead again.

After O'Neill sent his second homer of the game and 100th of his career over the Monster in deep left-center field in the seventh, David Hamilton's opposite-field double to left three batters later scored Dominic Smith with an insurance run.
