The New York Yankees keep grinding out victories and enter their weekend tilt with the Boston Red Sox on a high note. Thursday saw the Bronx Bombers win their three-game series with the Cleveland Guardians, thanks to Cody Bellinger’s home run and a great outing from Max Fried.
Now, it’s time for the age-old AL East rivalry as the Sawx come to town. It’s been a rough go for Boston, who are 3-7 in their last ten and have dropped to fourth in the AL East. They trail New York by nine games, not exactly a meaningful three-game weekend.
