The Yankees suffered their first regular-season series sweep since last July as the Red Sox dominated at Fenway Park, with New York batters hitting just .160 against Boston pitching.
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.
