The New York Yankees are shipping up to Boston for one more three-game series against the Red Sox, and with the end of the season drawing closer, a lot is on the line.
The longtime rivals will open a weekend series tonight with a broadcast on Apple TV+.
The teams are currently separated in the AL East standings by half a game with the Red Sox having played one more game than the Yankees, making the outcome of this three-game series pivotal in the wild card and playoff races. The Yankees also sit three games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the AL East lead.
New York avoided being swept by the Detroit Tigers in their last three games; after Detroit won the first two games 12-2 and 11-1, the Yankees came back with a 9-3 victory in last night’s game with President Trump in attendance. Aaron Judge also tied Joe DiMaggio for fourth in the Yankees’ all-time home run leaderboard when he hit his 361st career homer.
