From the 15-run outburst fueled by Steve Pearce's three home runs Thursday night to Sunday's improbable comeback against Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, things couldn't have gone better for the Red Sox in a four-game sweep of their hated rivals at Fenway Park.
It seemed the Yankees would at least salvage one game from their weekend in Boston when they held a 4-1 lead entering the bottom of the ninth with Chapman on the mound. But Boston rallied to tie it -- thanks in part to three Chapman walks and an error by third baseman Miguel Andujar -- then won it in the 10th on a walk-off single by Andrew Benitendi.
