The Red Sox watched their bullpen blow a late lead after the offense failed to score runs early in the game. They were almost able to complete a ninth-inning comeback thanks to a couple of Yankees errors, but Zach Britton executed a double play on New York’s third chance and the home team won. The Red Sox still need to win just one of the games in this series to clinch this division.
The Astros are starting to run away with this race, which is disappointing because it had the potential to be the one exciting race in the American League.
