With Mookie Betts today, there’s been four days in a row.
After a 19-3 beating in Game 1, the Red Sox followed that up with another demolition derby. Fans are witnessing an historic amount of runs being scored in the rivalry recently.
The @RedSox have scored 29 runs over the last 2 games against the Yankees.
The last time the Yankees allowed that many runs over a 2-game span was from June 22-23, 1932, against the St. Louis Browns (31).#DirtyWater— Stats By STATS (@StatsBySTATS) July 27, 2019
The Red Sox have scored 58 runs in their last 5 games against the Yankees (8, 13, 8, 19, 10), their most in any 5-game span in the rivalry’s history.

The @RedSox and @Yankees have combined to score 87 runs over the last four matchups between these two teams (50 for Boston, 37 for New York). That is the most combined runs over a four-game span in the history of this rivalry, regular season or postseason.

Holding on to a 1-run lead with 2 outs in the 8th, the Cubs were in a bases loaded jam, but must’ve felt good with the 9th hitter coming up. Obviously Craig Counsell went with a pinch-hitter for the pitcher and decided to go with Ben Gamel. The move paid dividends as this at-bat proved to be the game changer and left the Cubs out of 1st place.

Pitchers sometimes get a bad rep for not being athletic or great defenders. None of that can apply to Zach Plesac now.

#PlayerOfTheDay Mookie Betts looked like the reigning MVP he is with the MLB’s fourth consecutive 3-HR night. For Betts, it’s his 5th 3-HR game, putting him tied for 2nd most all-time at 26 years old. 4th time a Red Sox player has ever done this vs. NYY @ Fenway Park. https://t.co/sTyYDOHQJa
