In a pitchers’ duel, the Red Sox only needed their first two hitters, Tommy Pham and Rafael Devers, to beat the Yankees. Pham doubled and came around to score in the first, and Devers belted a two-run homer off Jameson Taillon. Since the Yankees could muster only two measly hits against a resurgent Michael Wacha and company, that was more than enough for a 3-0 shutout win to take the three-game set.
Both this game and this series highlighted some major Yankees problems right now, and they’re not your run-of-the-mill issues. This doesn’t look like your regular slump in the middle of a great campaign.
