Lucas Dirnberger allowed four hits and no runs in five innings to lead the Red Sox past the Yankees in the second game. Dylan Harris had three hits for the Red Sox while Jacob Valleroy and Ben Beussink each added two hits.

Sander had two hits for the Yankees in the loss.

In the first doubleheader, the Cardinals (2-4) swept the Mets (1-7).

In the opener, the Cards won 6-5 as Logan Haines and Tyler Propst each had three hits in support of pitcher Justin Myers. Lance Young added two hits. Tyler Branam was the losing pitcher.
