Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton provides the power, Luis Gil shuts down Red Sox at Fenway

BOSTON — Giancarlo Stanton hit a solo homer in the second inning and added a two-run double as the Yankees extended their winning streak to four with a 4-0 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday night.

Stanton, who sat out a 7-0 win over Kansas City on Sunday after going 0-for-9 in his previous two games, drove in the Yankees’ first three runs and gave starter Luis Gil all the offense he needed against the struggling Red Sox.

Gil (1-1) picked up his first win of the season while holding Boston to just two hits as the Yankees outhit the Red Sox 10-4 and cruised to their major league-leading fifth shutout of the season. Cody Bellinger extended his hitting streak to nine with a single in the eighth and scored on Randal Grichuk’s double to center.

The Red Sox went without a hit from Marcelo Mayer’s double in the second until Carlos Narváez singled in the eighth.

Gil hadn’t gone more than five innings in either of his previous two starts. He went 6 1⁄3 innings on Tuesday with two strikeouts and three walks.

Stanton led off the second with a towering shot to left, driving a slider from Connelly Early (1-1) over the Green Monster for his third homer of the season and the Yankees’ 19th in the last eight games.

Stanton drove in two more in the sixth with a shot off the scoreboard in left-center, bringing in Amed Rosario and Aaron Judge. Stanton was robbed of another hit in the eighth when Ceddanne Rafaela made a leaping catch at the centerfield wall.
