Red Sox 1, Yankees 0

 

Talk about a pitcher's duel! I'm loving these Bello/Fried matchups!

Brayan Bello pitched seven shutout innings, giving up only three hits and walking only one while striking out five. Max Fried pitched six shutout innings, giving up four hits and walking three while striking out seven. The Boston bullpen kept the pressure on, striking out four over two hitless innings, but Yankee reliever Mark Leiter Jr. gave up a one-run double to Connor Wong (.189) of all players. It was all Boston would need to win the game.

The stinkin' Yankees just dropped two in a row to a team that just got swept at home by the Orioles. The Sox (70-59) are now 7-1 against New York this season, guaranteeing a winning season record versus the Yankees, and take over second place in the AL East, five back from Toronto and a half game ahead of New York. 

And it get's better - it's Crochet Day! Left-handed Boston starter Garrett Crochet (13-5, 2.43) will face Will Warren (7-5, 4.25) this afternoon. Let's make it 8-1 over the Yankees this season! Let's sweep the Yankees in the Bronx! Let's knock them out of Wild Card eligibility!

Yankees suck, man! The Yankees fucking suck!
