NEW YORK — The Red Sox could use a break.
The Yankees put their northern neighbors through a wood chipper over the last two days, outscoring them by an unfathomable 27-3 margin, punctuated by a 13-2 win on Sunday.
After working tirelessly to come back from a rib injury, Boston starting pitcher Chris Sale was forced out of the game in the first inning when a 106.7 mile per hour line drive clipped him, fracturing the pinky finger on his throwing hand. The Red Sox’s bullpen could not stop feeding the Yankees delicious pitches, and the Boston offense mustered just four hits off Gerrit Cole.
