Red Sox still need one win to clinch division

Luke Voit hit two homers off David Price, Miguel Andujar popped another one barely into the right-field seats and the New York Yankees stalled Boston’s division-clinching celebration by beating the Red Sox 10-1 on Wednesday night.

Luis Severino (18-8) pitched seven innings of one-run ball and the Yankees had no need for all-star closer Aroldis Chapman on the day they activated him from the disabled list. Chapman had been out since Aug. 21 with left knee tendinitis. He watched the end of the game from the dugout.

The Yankees will try to send Boston packing Thursday with the AL East still undecided. The Red Sox lead the division by 9½ games and entered this series needing one win to lock up the division.

At Atlanta, Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs, Touki Toussaint pitched into the sixth inning and the NL Eastleading Atlanta Braves snapped a four-game skid with a 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

It was a big win for Atlanta, which began the day with a 5½-game lead over Philadelphia.

St. Louis, which had won three straight, began the day leading Colorado by 1½ games for the second wild-card spot.

At Philadelphia, Rhys Hoskins became the seventh-fastest player to hit 50 career home runs and the Philadelphia Phillies kept pace in the NL East race with a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets. Seven of Philadelphia’s final 11 games are against the Braves, including a four-game series beginning Thursday night in Atlanta.

At Milwaukee, Gio Gonzalez pitched six smooth innings on his 33rd birthday and Jesus Aguilar hit a three-run homer in the Brewers’ 7-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.

The Brewers began the day trailing the first-place Cubs by 3½ games in the NL Central.
