Yankees going for10th straight over rival Red Sox

When it comes to dominating the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees are at levels not seen since the early years of Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford's careers.

The Yankees can get their 10th straight win over their longtime rival Monday night when they host the Red Sox in the finale of a four-game series.

New York's nine-game winning streak is its longest over Boston since it tied a team record with 12 consecutive victories from Aug. 16, 1952, to April 23, 1953, a time when Mantle and Ford were just starting their storied careers and Boston legend Ted Williams was serving in the Korean War.
