Red Sox-Yankees: Lineups and how to watch
Well, that didn’t go according to plan for the Red Sox.
Luis Gil carved through the Red Sox lineup, throwing six no-hit innings on Friday night. His impressive start paved the way to a 4-1 Yankees victory which set the tone for a pivotal weekend series. The Yankees took a one and a half game lead over the Red Sox. It’s a close race in a wide-open American League.
The Yankees have the chance to clinch the high-stakes weekend series. After the Red Sox reeled off eight straight wins between June and August against their archrivals, the Yankees have won consecutive games.
