We know the Red Sox dropped a frustrating one to the Astros on Friday night thanks to a bullpen implosion, so they couldn’t pick up a game on their own. The Yankees made matters worse by taking care of business out west. Masahiro Tanaka continued to be their hottest pitcher and tossed eight shutout innings to lead New York to a 4-0 victory over the Mariners. The Red Sox watched their lead in the division fall to 8.5 games and the magic number sits at 13.
The Indians lost an eleven-inning game in Toronto while Minnesota was able to pick up a victory over the Royals on Friday.
