And for their efforts, the Bronx Bombers left with the worst defeat ever recorded in the longstanding Yankees-Red Sox rivalry at Fenway since the ballpark opened in 1912, according to CBS Sports.
In a game the ended in a 19-3 Red Sox victory, Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka set another ignominious record, allowing 12 runs; the most any Yankees starter has ever given up to the Red Sox. But Friday is another day, and the Yankees — who still hold a 10-game lead in the AL East over the third-place Red Sox — will try again in a game that will live stream from Boston.

Though winning the division for a fourth year in a row would take something like a miracle for the Red Sox at this point, the club retains a 57 percent chance of qualifying for the postseason, according to calculations by the statistical site FanGraphs. In fact, the Red Sox, by those FanGraphs numbers, even have a 5 percent chance — one out of 20 — of repeating as World Series champions. The Yankees, however, are a virtual certainty to make the playoffs at 99.6 percent, with a 16.1 percent chance of winning the 28th World Series in franchise history.
The Red Sox send their newest trade acquisition, right hander Andrew Cashner, to the mound, to try to keep the Yankees’ bats quiet. But in two starts for Boston so far, Cashner has not kept anyone’s bat quiet, allowing nine earned runs in 11 innings, including four home runs, on his way to losing both of his games for his new team, according to Baseball Reference.
