BOSTON — Masataka Yoshida hit a tiebreaking two-run single off Clay Holmes in a three-run eighth inning, and the Boston Red Sox overcame Aaron Judge’s 470-foot home run to beat the reeling New York Yankees 9-7 Friday night.

Judge hit his major league-leading 36th homer, a three-run drive in the seventh on a Zack Kelly cutter that landed in a small section of stands above a back wall and below a videoboard. That put New York ahead 6-4, and Austin Wells followed with a solo homer over right fielder Tyler O’Neill, who tumbled into the stands.

Ceddanne Rafaela cut the deficit to 7-6 with a two-run shot against Luke Weaver in the bottom half that went over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park.

Weaver (4-2) allowed Rob Refsnyder’s third hit of the night leading off the eighth and walked Connor Wong.

Holmes relieved with one out in just his second appearance since July 14 and allowed Wilyer Abreu’s tying double on an up sinker. Holmes has blown four of his last six save chances and seven of 28 this season.

Yoshida took a pair of sliders for balls, then singled.

Boston had lost five of its first six games after the All-Star break.

New York (60-45) has lost five of six and is 10-23 after a 50-22 start.

Bailey Horn (1-1) got three outs for his first major league win and Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 20th save in 23 chances, the 440th of his big league career.

Red Sox starter Brayan Bello gave up three runs in five innings.

Anthony Volpe homered into the center-field bleachers, tying the game at 1.

New York starter Nestor Cortes gave up four and a season-high nine hits in 4 2/3 innings. He’s 0-5 with a 6.18 ERA in 11 starts away from Yankee Stadium and 4-4 with a 2.48 ERA at home.

BABY

Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake missed the game following the birth of his daughter Georgie.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Yankees: Manager Aaron Boone said slugger Giancarlo Stanton could be activated Monday in Philadelphia. He’s been out since straining a hamstring on June 22.

Red Sox: Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow said before the game that 1B Triston Casas could start a rehab assignment in about a week. “He’s feeling good taking swings with more intensity,” Breslow said. Casas has been sidelined since mid-April with a rib strain. … Refsnyder crashed into the Green Monster, trying to make a leaping catch. He was down for a while but stayed in the game.
