The New York Yankees revived the age-old Yankees Red Sox rivalry tonight at Yankee Stadium with the first game of a 3 game set in the Bronx. This is the first time the two teams have met this season. Compared to the projections early in the season, they have been turned on their heads. The Red Sox are playing well, occupying first place in the East for much of the season, and the powerful Yankee lineup has been languid and is 4.5 games out of first place. The Yankees tonight hoped to right the ship by beating the Sox, but it was not to be had and the Red Sox took game one 5-2.
