After Shoreline’s Blake Snell pitched the Rays to a 3-1 win versus the Yankees on Thursday, the Red Sox’s lead in the American League East grew to 10 1/2 games over their Gotham rivals.
The Red Sox have been on an unbelievable run, posting a 36-10 record over the last 46 games. And at 86-36, the Sox are eyeing the record of 116 wins set by the 2001 Mariners. They are on pace for 114 wins.
While the Red Sox’s lead in the East continues to grow, the Yankees’ lead for the American League wild card continues to shrink.
