Yankees 2, Red Sox 9: Yanks stomped out, get swept
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesOn a sunny Sunday ripe for baseball, the Yankees entered the afternoon with an opportunity to earn a game back against their rivals with their ace on the mound. Entering the game, they’d dropped five straight to their rivals, trailing them by 5.5 games for the Wild Card’s first seed. With a win, they’d avoid the sweep, and regain some momentum they’d built up after winning each of their previous three series against Toronto, Oakland, and Kansas City.
In utter disregard of the inviting environs, things went from bad to worse and teetered on worst in an all-around laugher in favor of the Red Sox.
