Yankees’ little mistakes adding up against Red Sox
NY Post
BOSTON — In a sense, the Yankees looked like a new and improved baseball club Friday night at Fenway Park, compared to the imploding mess that got swept by the Red Sox earlier this month in The Bronx.
That and $153 million, nearly eight years ago, would have landed you Jacoby Ellsbury, who emerged from the shadows here Friday, wearing his Bosox jersey, to salute his retiring pal Dustin Pedroia. No, despite a sleeker sheen, the Yankees lost their fourth straight 2021 matchup with the Sawx, 5-3, because a quartet of decisions — two Friday, two last offseason — bit them. You can’t whiff on too many little things and expect to thrive in this American League East, where the Yankees now reside five games behind the leading Rays and 4 ½ behind the Bosox.More Related News
