BOSTON -- The Red Sox are setting themselves up for a clinch party in the house of their rivals.
After being the latest team to outlast Jacob deGrom and score off the Mets' bullpen, the Sox notched a 4-3 victory on Sunday afternoon that reduced the magic number to two for clinching the American League East title.
After a day off on Monday, Boston opens a three-game series at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.
The game started as a duel between two of the most dominant pitchers in the game.
