There were very few positives to take away from the Boston Red Sox recent four-game sweep of the New York Yankees. The good guys dropped four extremely winnable games and were straight-out outclassed by their division rivals. As if that weren’t bad enough, the already short-handed Yankees lost three members of their starting lineup to injury.
Mason Williams received his second big league call up just before the start of the crucial Boston series to replace rookie right fielder Aaron Judge, whose season was ended by a strained right oblique. He wasn’t expected to replace Judge in the lineup however, but rather serve as an occasional defensive replacement and reserve for Rob Refsnyder.
