BOSTON -- The New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox rivalry is considered one of the greatest in all sports.
But in the past two years, it has certainly turned into a one-sided affair.
The Yankees pummeled the Red Sox 8-0 on Saturday night for their 12th consecutive victory over their AL East rivals, tying a franchise record. The Yankees have won 12 straight games vs. Boston and 17 of the last 18 games between the clubs since July 28, 2019.
"It's probably a little bit fluky, a little aberration," said manager Aaron Boone when addressing the franchise's record-tying streak.
