Devers’ 2-run double helps Red Sox beat Yankees and stop Rodón’s 7-game winning streak

Tyler O’Neill and rookie Jamie Westbrook hit an RBI double in a three-run first inning for the Red Sox, who rebounded from an 8-1 loss in the series opener Friday to win before only the second sellout at Fenway Park this season.

Boston improved to 33-9 wearing its City Connect uniforms with bright yellow jerseys and powder blue lettering, including 18-5 over the last two years.

Rodón (9-3) had allowed three runs or fewer in 13 of 14 starts this season. O’Neill and Westbrook sandwiched their doubles around Connor Wong’s single.

Rodón allowed five runs, seven hits and three walks in five innings in his first loss since May 2.

Juan Soto hit a solo homer and DJ LeMahieu had a two-run single for the major league-best Yankees (50-23), who had won nine of their previous 10 road games.

Justin Slaten (4-2) worked 2 2/3 innings of one-run relief, striking out Giancarlo Stanton to strand the bases loaded in the fifth.

Kenley Jansen got the final four outs for his 11th save in 12 chances, the 431st of his big league career.

After LeMahieu’s single made it 3-2 in the second against Cooper Criswell, Devers lined his double into the left-center field in the bottom of the inning.

Soto hit his 18th homer off Slaten, an opposite-field drive that just cleared the top of the Green Monster, and returned to the field in the seventh.

Boston added two runs in the eighth when Jarren Duran had an RBI single and scored from third on a throwing error by catcher Jose Trevino.

Before the game, the Red Sox honored NCAA basketball champion UConn. Alex Karaban, who grew up about 30 minutes away in Southborough, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Yankees: Ace RHP Gerrit Cole returned to the clubhouse and said he “felt great” after his third rehab start Friday night. Manager Aaron Boone said the club will decide in the coming days whether he will rejoin the rotation or begin another rehab.

Red Sox: OF Wiyer Abreu (sprained right ankle) ran the bases. Manager Alex Cora said he feels good and the team will talk next week about his potential return. … Cora said reliever Chris Martin (anxiety) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday.

Yankees RHP Marcus Stroman (6-2, 2.82 ERA) is scheduled to start the series finale Sunday night against Red Sox RHP Kutter Crawford (2-6, 3.47).
