The New York Yankees went into last night’s finale with the Boston Red Sox with a ten-game winning streak that came to an end last night, when two rookie pitchers faced each other at Fenway Park. The Yankees have had an up and down season this year. They started with an 8-1 streak, then lost 15 of the next 20 games. Then they got hot again, and won ten straight. Last night four Red Sox pitchers limited the Yankees to just three hits.
The Red Sox Tanner Houck, in his second start in the major leagues, held the Yankees to just one hit over six innings, allowing three walks and striking out four.
