Real or Not? Red Sox bullpen's tightrope act will wear thin

On Thursday, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees played another barnburner -- that’s old-timey speak for a great game for you kids out there.

The Red Sox led 4-0, sat through a rain delay, then watched the Yankees score four runs in the seventh inning off their bullpen. J.D. Martinez homered in the eighth off Dellin Betances, however, and Craig Kimbrel closed it out for a 5-4 win.

First, Martinez’s home run was fun because a fan took away a potential catch from Aaron Judge.
