Garrett Crochet racked up 11 strikeouts (including the 500th of his career) over seven innings of one-run ball, while Boston\u2019s bats pounded out 17 hits following Friday\u2019s tense 1-0 victory.<\/p>\n<p>With their third win in as many days, the Red Sox clinched the series win over New York. They\u2019ve now won eight straight games against their archrivals dating back to June (including five straight at Yankee Stadium), tying their longest single-season winning streak against the Yankees during the Wild Card Era (since 1994).<\/p>\n<p>That matches Boston\u2019s eight-game winning streak against New York in 2009, back when David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez ruled the rivalry.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Red Sox are 8-1 with a plus-23 run differential against the Yankees this season, clinching the season series (and a potential playoff tiebreaker if needed) on Friday.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>While there\u2019s still one game to go, this weekend\u2019s series has been a disaster for New York. The Yankees have been outscored 19-4 and have more errors (five) than runs (four) during the series.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>They\u2019ve lost three games in the standings as a result, going from a 1.5-game lead over Boston for the top American League wild card spot to a 1.5-game deficit. So much for their momentum coming into the series.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Red Sox will go for the sweep on Sunday Night Baseball behind Dustin May (7-9, 4.59 ERA), who gets his first taste of the rivalry after joining them at the MLB Trade Deadline. He\u2019ll face Carlos Rod\u00f3n (13-7, 3.24 ERA), who will try to stop the bleeding and salvage the series finale for New York.<\/p>\n<p>Based on how this weekend has gone for the Yankees, they can\u2019t afford another loss. If they win, it will be their first victory against Boston since June 6.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox have won eight straight games against the New York Yankees &#8212; their longest streak in quite some time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":82697,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Red Sox Match Longest Winning Streak Vs.
