After a 10th-inning walk-off in Friday’s opener and a hard-fought one-run win on Saturday, the Red Sox looked to ride the momentum of the past two days into Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees.
Facing the Red Sox (37-36) on back-to-back weekends, the Yankees (42-28) dropped five of six and seemingly gave life to their rival’s season. In The Bronx, it was their pitching that failed them. At Fenway, it was their lifeless bats, plus a costly baserunning miscue in each of the past two games.
The Boston Red Sox are thinking sweep on Sunday afternoon, as they get set for the last of a three-game division series with the New York Yankees at Fenway Park.
