Red Sox starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins shut down Aaron Boone&#8217;s lineup in one of his best starts of the season. After\u00a0Dobbins made comments about never wanting to play for the Yankees, fans were skeptical. Even Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. shared his thoughts, amused at what the young pitcher had to say.<\/p>\n<p>According to OptaSTATS, Dobbins is the first Boston pitcher to beat New York\u00a0twice in a week\u00a0since 2007. Across both of his starts, the 25-year-old allowed three runs over 11 innings, including six shutout innings on Saturday. His dominance against the Yankees makes his comments about New York even more fitting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I\u2019d retire,\u201d Dobbins said about potentially joining New York in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Red Sox fans rallied around their young starter after his gem, backing him up.

Despite dominating the Yankees in 2025, the Red Sox are still behind them in the American League East. New York has been around five games ahead of all the other teams in their division all season.<\/p>\n<p>Dobbins has emerged as a bright spot for Boston this season. Amid the tension between\u00a0Rafael Devers and Red Sox manager Alex Cora, the young starter has been a big plus for the organization.<\/p>\n<p>His dominance against the Yankees is a great sign, even if he just caught them on a bad night. Boston has one pitcher set in stone moving forward in Garrett Crochet. Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford are on the Red sox injured list, and Brayan Bello has underwhelmed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dobbins represents the future of Boston&#8217;s pitching, and his hatred of the Yankees is icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins shut down the New York Yankees, earning praise from fans after his comments about New York.
