Look, you never want to overreact too much to one game in baseball - or in this case, two games in one day - but after watching the New York Yankees sweep the Boston Red Sox in a doubleheader on Tuesday and pass Boston by percentage points in the standings, the obvious conclusion remains: the Yankees are soaring while the Red Sox are in deep trouble.
Ten takeaways from the doubleheader, which leaves the Yankees at 68-52 (.567 winning percentage) and the Red Sox at 69-53 (.566), both teams in a tie with the A's (68-52) for the two wild cards.
