Lance Lynn pitches Yankees out of doldrums in big way | Rapid reaction

CHICAGO -- Monday was a day for Yankees fans to sulk and complain about the latest Boston Massacre, those humbling four losses in four days at Fenway Park to the hated Red Sox.

And, wow, did Sunday night's sting or what? The Yankees were up three runs in the ninth with Aroldis Chapman pitching and lost in 10 to fall 9 1/2 games back in the American League East.

Because it's August, for sure the Yankees' new reality is that the Red Sox probably will win the division for the third year in a row.
