The Red Sox beat the Yankees tonight. It’s always great to beat the Yankees, but in this case, tonight’s win also ensured that this six-game home stand against the two best teams in baseball will NOT be a losing home stand.

This week could have marked the effective end of the Sox’ season, with a string of losses burying the team under .500 and putting them squarely outside the postseason picture. But no! Instead the Red Sox moved themselves to a game above .
