BOSTON – The Red Sox hoped for some semblance of momentum as they wrapped up an already lost rivalry series against the Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball.

What they got was a surge of electricity from Garrett Crochet on the mound, and some much-needed, early bolts of lightning from the offense in a 6-4 win .

No sooner had Crochet mowed down the Yankees with a swift opening frame that included two strikeouts had Boston’s first five batters -- Jarren Duran, Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Nathaniel Lowe and Romy Gonzalez -- produced hits to pace a six-run bottom of the first.

The hope is that the burst -- which included a 12-strikeout performance from Crochet over six innings -- will set the tone for the final two weeks of the regular season.

With 12 games to go, the Red Sox are 1 1/2 gam
