BOSTON — Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins created some waves in the Bronx a week ago, stating he’d sooner “retire” than ever pitch for the Yankees.

On Saturday night, he did nothing but retire Yankees batters.

Again and again and again.

Dobbins pitched six scoreless innings and kept the Yankees’ offense in a funk for a third straight game as the Red Sox held on for a 4-3 victory in front of 36,414 at Fenway Park.

Paul Goldschmidt led off the ninth with a double against former Yankee and Bay Shore product Greg Weissert and came around on groundouts by Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe to bring the Yankees within 4-3. Jasson Dominguez hit an opposite-field double to left and Austin Wells lined a long drive just to the left of dead centerfield that Ceddanne Rafaela caught on the warning track to end the game.

The Yankees (42-27) have totaled five runs in their last three games (losing the first game of this series, 2-1, in 10 innings Friday night after beating the Royals, 1-0, on Thursday night). The Red Sox (36-36) have won four of the first five meetings between the two clubs.

“They’re a really good team. They’ve made a couple of pitches or plays or swings in each of those games,” Goldschmidt said. “We’ve got a bunch more to go so we’ll try to win the one tomorrow and keep going.”

Dobbins (4-1, 3.74), who allowed three runs and four hits in five innings in Boston’s 11-7 victory over the Yankees last Sunday at the Stadium, was much better than that on Saturday. He allowed two hits and a walk in an 82-pitch outing in which he struck out five.

“He’s got life to the fastball at the top of the zone, I thought he had a little presence with his splitter for the lefties, and it looked like he was spinning the ball pretty well,” Aaron Boone said. “Able to keep us off-balance enough to not really string anything together against him.”

The Yankees, trailing 4-0 entering the seventh and happy to see anyone but Dobbins on the mound, rallied for two runs against command-challenged Luis Guerrero but saw Dominguez have a brain lock on second base to end the threat.

Guerrero walked Goldschmidt and Chisholm to start the inning and, after Volpe popped out, Dominguez stung an RBI single to center to make it 4-1. Lefthander Justin Wilson came on to face Wells, who greeted him with an RBI single to center to make it 4-2.

Wilson struck out DJ LeMahieu with a slider and, after Trent Grisham took a strike to even the count at 2-and-2, Dominguez — thinking it was strike three — was caught standing about 15 feet off second base. He eventually was caught stealing 2-6-5.

“No excuses,” Dominguez said. “I made a mistake.”

Said Boone: “Obviously, he feels terrible about that. I talked to him . . . probably something that won’t ever happen to him again.”

Carlos Rodon (8-5, 3.01), though not bad, wasn’t as sharp as he’s been, allowing four runs (three earned), seven hits and two walks in five innings-plus.

Former Yankee Rob Refsnyder led off the bottom of the first by lining a double into the leftfield corner. Rodon struck out Rafael Devers swinging at a sinker and got Romy Gonzalez to fly softly to right, but former Yankee Carlos Narvaez hit a grounder into the hole at short. Volpe made a good backhand stop and a jump throw to first, but Goldschmidt couldn’t scoop the ball out of the dirt. The ball banged off the front of the Red Sox dugout for an error that allowed Refsnyder to score and give Boston a 1-0 lead.

“That was my fault,” Goldschmidt said. “He’s trying to make a great play and I just didn’t get far enough off the bag and kind of got caught trying to knock it down and just didn’t do a good enough job. That one’s on me.”

In the fourth, Narvaez doubled into the leftfield corner and scored on a single to center by Trevor Story that he stretched into a double.

The Red Sox made it 3-0 in the fifth. Rodon hit Kristian Campbell with a 1-and-2 slider to start the inning, and with two outs, Gonzalez lined a drive into the gap in right-center for a double that allowed Campbell to score from first.

Story led off the sixth with a double, went to third on Rafaela’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Marcelo Mayer’s sacrifice fly to left.  

“They definitely can swing it,” Rodon said of the Red Sox, who scored five runs in five innings off him last Sunday night. “They have a good approach. Today they were a little more aggressive than last time. Missed some pitches and they took advantage.”
