Boston Red SoxvsNew York Yankees
BOS 5/NYY 3
Things to say
Red Sox beat the Yankees 5-3 at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.
01
opener
Sox went into the Bronx and stole one, 5-3. Yankees never really got their bats going. Always fun when Boston quiets that crowd.
02
key player
Boston's lineup did the damage early and the bullpen slammed the door. That's the version of this team that's been missing all year.
03
hot take
Yankees are 37-26 and people are acting like they're a juggernaut. They've been losing series like this for a month, nobody wants to say it.
04
deep cut
Red Sox are 27-35 and still walked into Yankee Stadium and outhit them. Tells you everything about how flat the Yankees looked at the plate.
05
exit
Anyway, rubber match tomorrow in the Bronx. We'll see if the Yankees wake up or if Boston actually has a pulse.
The recap
Red Sox went into the Bronx and stole one, 5-3, which is the kind of result that flips the mood of a series real quick. Boston's been scuffling at 27-35 so getting into the heart of the Yankees order and pushing across five at Yankee Stadium is a real shot in the arm.
The Yankees couldn't string anything together off the Boston staff, and three runs at home just isn't going to cut it against a division rival. Getaway-day-style win for the Sox, and now the Bronx Faithful are grumbling on the way out.
