Well, this is more like it. The Red Sox showed no mercy in the Bronx on Saturday as they snatched the AL East lead back from the Yankees. They poured on early offense and kept it going all night, large thanks to a huge night for Rafael Devers. They also got an incredible performance from Chris Sale. It was, essentially, the exact opposite of Friday’s game.
Sale was great in this game, and we’ll obviously get to that, but the story here was the offense getting off to a strong start and taking command of the contest right away.
