BOSTON — What a perfect way to come out of the All-Star break.
The Yankees and the Red Sox. Baseball’s top rivalry. Two teams fighting for their division. Four games in 50-plus hours.
“It’s a really significant trip for us, because we have to start playing better,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said during the break — talking about the 11-game journey that moves on to Minnesota and Seattle from Boston.
“It’s an important road trip, but it’s not the end-of-the-world road trip. We still have 60 or so games left after that road trip, but it’s important.
