The Yankees’ goal for Sunday is simple: keep the juggernaut rolling and clinch a postseason berth.
The Bombers, winners of 10 straight, can seal a playoff spot with a victory against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park. They currently sit in the fourth seed in the American League at 31-21, mere percentage points better than the 32-22 Minnesota Twins — a minuscule yet crucial difference as the higher seed will enjoy home field advantage for the entire three-game first-round matchup between the two clubs that seems increasingly likely to take place.
