Oswaldo Cabrera hit a two-run double within the eighth inning to win the sport against former Yankees relief pitcher Greg Weissert.
For the second day in a row, the Yankees were ahead by three runs in the primary inning.
But unlike the primary two games of the series, when the teams scored a combined 35 runs and lost leads at the tip, they managed to carry on to their lead.
Alex Verdugo opened the sport with a double against All-Star Tanner Houck (8-7) and scored on Judge's single inside first base. Austin Wells hit a ground-rule double before Torres hit a single to right.
New York leads the majors with 78 runs in the primary inning and has a 42-15 record when scoring first.
Houck allowed 4 runs in six innings – three of them deserved.
Refsnyder and Wong each hit home runs into the Green Monsters' seats to chop the rating to 4-2, but Rodón left Rafael Devers on third base after hitting a triple with no outs.
Danny Jansen was the Red Sox's designated hitter, a day after they acquired him from the Toronto Blue Jays for 3 minor league players. He had two singles and a walk.
