The Yankees beat the Red Sox in submission at the opening of the rivalry

The Yankees and the Red Sox, unsurprisingly, have shared their first six games against each other this season and entered Friday at just one game in the AL – East standings, looking very much like teams that will take the divisional race.

Sabathia and the offensive is ensured.

Torres opened the bottom of the sleeve with a dazzling triple from the wall in the center, just beating the throw of Jackie Bradley Jr.

Andujar followed by the fall of a shallow center in order to give a 1-0 lead to the Yankees.

Torres and Andujar proved to be a good combination early in the fourth, when they transformed a third-game double owl
