Everyone knew the New York Yankees were going to lose some games this year. Even the best go through bad stretches, it’s baseball. It happens.
What no one could have expected, however, was the Yankees being swept by the Red Sox at Fenway Park over the weekend, thus losing five of the first six games of a 13-game season series. This was also the exact opposite of the previous weekend, when Boston outscored the Yankees 27-23.
This most recent three-game set, on the other hand, was shockingly low-scoring. Only 12 total runs were scored, with Boston outscoring the Yankees 8-4.
