Runs were difficult to come by all weekend at Yankee Stadium, and one big mistake by second baseman Gleyber Torres was just the break Boston needed Sunday night.

Kiké Hernández hit a tiebreaking single in the 10th inning and the scuffling Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 3-2 with the help of Torres' late error.

Despite scoring just seven runs in three days, last-place Boston (33-33) took two of three games in the first series this season between the longtime rivals because its pitching staff shut down a sputtering Yankees lineup missing injured outfielders Aaron Judge and Harrison Bader.

"Hopefully we can build off of this," manager Alex Cora said. "If we keep doing this from the mound, then, we know we’re going to hit. That’s just a matter of time."

Justin Turner homered and Brayan Bello fired seven efficient innings for the Red Sox, matching his career high.

Jose Trevino’s early two-run single that took a lucky bounce off second base was one of only three hits for the Yankees — and all the offense they could muster.

Chris Martin worked a hitless inning for his 10th career save and first for the Red Sox. With a runner on third, he struck out Trevino and rookie Anthony Volpe to end it.

"I think overall it was a great series for the team," Hernández said. "Offensively, we obviously didn’t burst out and score a bunch of runs — but we did what we had to do."
