Carlos Narvaez hit a three-run homer to spark a five-run sixth inning for the visiting Boston Red Sox, who earned an 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday night.

The Red Sox took the final two games of the series after making a late comeback attempt in Friday’s 9-6 loss. Boston scored 21 runs in the two wins and 27 times overall.

Acquired from the Yankees in December, Narvaez gave Boston a 5-3 lead when he sliced a 2-2 fastball from New York starter Carlos Rodon (8-4) into the left field seats.

It was the sixth homer for the catcher, who signed with the Yankees as an international free agent in 2015 and made six appearances with New York last season.

Rookie Kristian Campbell hit a two-run homer off Rodon in the fifth before the Red Sox had their second five-run inning in the past two games.

Rodon opened the sixth by hitting Devers and walking Rob Refsnyder. After Narvaez’s homer chased Rodon, Fernando Cruz loaded the bases and Jarren Duran hit a two-run single off Tim Hill for a 7-3 lead.

Abraham Toro and Trevor Story ripped back-to-back homers in the eighth off Jonathan Loaisiga. Rafael Devers homered in the ninth and Toro hit an RBI double in the ninth.

Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first and another two-run shot in the ninth after striking out three times against Garrett Crochet on Saturday. DJ LeMahieu also homered as the Yankees lost a series for only the second time in 10 tries.

Rodon allowed five runs on three hits in five-plus innings and took his first loss since April 13 after entering the game 7-0 with a 1.27 ERA in his previous nine starts. The left-hander struck out five and walked three.

Boston rookie Hunter Dobbins (3-1) allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. The right-hander did not get any strikeouts or issue a walk.

In the sixth, Brennan Bernardino loaded the bases and allowed a sacrifice fly to Jazz Chisholm Jr. Garrett Whitlock allowed a bases-loaded free pass to Trent Grisham before escaping the sixth with a 7-5 lead.

Aroldis Chapman fanned Anthony Volpe with two outs and two on in the ninth for his 11th save.
