Close in the standings but far apart on the scoreboard. A highly anticipated series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees wound up being blowout city in the big City. Although given the two lineups and considering the pitching matchups, it kind of makes sense. Given the pop in each respective lineup, your starter had best be up to the task. In the end, it came out in the Yankee favor, as New York captured two of three.
Incredibly we’re at the midway point of the schedule anyhow and at 54 victories, this marks the second highest win total by the Yankees at 81 games since 1961, only the 1998 Yankees with 61, won more.
