BOSTON \u2014 Sonny Gray was almost overloaded with reasons to celebrate.<\/p>\n

As if taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning and reaching 2,000 career strikeouts weren\u2019t enough, his brilliant outing Sunday night for Boston came against the rival New York Yankees \u2014 a team Gray once pitched for and hasn\u2019t been shy about disliking.<\/p>

So after winning in a wild ending, Gray and the Red Sox were reveling in a four-game sweep at Fenway Park that marked their longest winning streak this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re at the top of our division right now. They are where we hope to be. So yeah, it was a good series and it was a pretty sick finish to the series for us,\u201d Gray said after the Red Sox rallied for a 5-4 victory in 10 innings.<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually, the Yankees are now a game behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East, thanks in large part to Boston\u2019s first four-game sweep in the rivalry since 2018.<\/p>\n

Finishing it off proved difficult when New York scored two runs in the ninth to tie it and then two more in the 10th to take a 4-2 lead. But the Red Sox responded with three in the bottom half and walked off with a rousing win on Jarren Duran\u2019s game-ending single.<\/p>\n

The chaotic ending nearly overshadowed what Gray had done hours before, striking out nine and shutting down the Yankees emphatically for 7 1\/3 innings as Boston clung to a 2-0 advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just trying to do my part to win the game. That\u2019s all I was thinking about other than executing a pitch,\u201d Gray said. \u201cI just felt very focused. I wanted to come out and win the game and we did that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gray didn\u2019t dwell much on the opponent despite his history with New York.<\/p>\n

He pitched for the Yankees after a trade-deadline deal in 2017, but the following season ended up losing his spot in the rotation and was ultimately left off the Yankees\u2019 postseason roster. His time with New York ended with an offseason trade to Cincinnati. Stops in Minnesota and St. Louis followed before the veteran right-hander arrived in Boston this season, and he said he never really wanted to play for the Yankees.<\/p>

While the last-place Red Sox (36-46) are still 10 games below .500, Gray said it felt pretty special getting to that point after what it took to win Sunday. He tipped his cap to Boston fans as he left to a standing ovation in the eighth after Amed Rosario ended the no-hit bid with a one-out single up the middle on Gray\u2019s 97th pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in the sixth inning or something they started really like getting into it and it was cool. I appreciated that,\u201d Gray said. \u201cI appreciate them and it seemed like they appreciated the outing tonight. We need them. If we\u2019re going to get back into this thing, we need them. And they were here for us this weekend, so I appreciated that.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the first time since 1963 the Yankees were held hitless through the first four innings of three straight games.<\/p>\n

Gray got some defensive help in the third when Wilyer Abreu robbed Austin Wells of a hit with a sliding grab in shallow right field after a full sprint to reach the sinking ball in time. Abreu also committed a pair of costly throwing errors late that helped the Yankees tie it and later take the lead.<\/p>\n

Interim manager Chad Tracy said he still has plenty of confidence in his Gold Glove outfielder, as did his teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a good weekend. Even though we gave up a couple of runs, the energy in the dugout coming in was like, let\u2019s go win the game,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cThere\u2019s been times here in the past couple of months where that would have kind of crushed us, but that was not the case. They were fired up to try and get that done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yankees starter Carlos Rod\u00f3n had a one-hitter going after holding Boston without a hit through the first three innings. Caleb Durbin broke it up with a two-run single with one out in the fourth.<\/p>
