The road trip got off to an excellent start for the Yankees, walloping the Red Sox out of the gate en route to an easy win. They’re going to need more of that offense, because every game is vital to staying afloat at this point — and because knocking the Sox down a peg wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, either.
Néstor Cortes Jr. will be the man looking to continue the good times today, and he’s been a big part of getting the team back on track in the first place.
