The New York Yankees lost two of three to the Red Sox last weekend, and answered with a subsequent three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals. The Bronx Bombers earned it too, having eked out a tight 1-0 victory to complete the sweep Wednesday.
It’s now out of the frying pan and into the fire, on the Yankees’ end. They get the Red Sox again this weekend, and the opening pitching matchup isn’t exactly ideal. Boston’s also still running hot since last weekend, having just taken two of three from the Rays. The Red Sox have also won four of their last five.
