Once again, the Boston Red Sox embarrassed the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox won their eighth consecutive game against their rival ( BOS 12, NYY 1 ), the first time they've done that in a single season since 2009. It is only Boston's third eight-game winning streak over the Yankees in its history.

And then a funny thing happened: It worked out totally fine. Roman Anthony and Alex Bregman came through with back-to-back sacrifice flies in that fourth inning, a turning point in a 12-1 win over the Yankees.

BOTTOM LINE: The Boston Red Sox will try to continue a three-game win streak with a victory over the New York Yankees. New York has a 69-60 record overall and a 37-28 record at home. Yankees pitchers have a collective 4.04 ERA, which ranks ninth in the AL.
