The latest bragging rights in the long and storied history between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox belong to the latter.
That is because the Red Sox defeated their rivals 6-2 in Tuesday's win-or-go-home American League Wild Card Game at Fenway Park. Nathan Eovaldi, Kyle Schwarber, Alex Verdugo and Xander Bogaerts led the way for the victors, who are looking for their fifth championship since 2004.
Gerrit Cole turned in a poor start for the Yankees, who have now fallen short of the World Series in all nine of their postseason appearances since winning the title in 2009.
