The New York Yankees Vs. The Boston Red Sox- How the series is going?

These two teams have been fighting against each other for decades, and their rivalry is legendary. Their current season is going almost equally worst. But still, the Yankees are doing a little better in the ongoing series. They are at a 2-0 lead. During the previous series, the Red Sox smashed the Yankees, but this time, they are facing the negative effect of their own master plan.

After their first defeat, their plan to bench their star player Rafael Devers backfired, making them invite their own defeat in the second game. Up to the seventh inning, the game was in The Red Sox’s favor. But The Yankees wouldn’t even give Devers a chance to start in the 8th inning and gave him an intentional walk. This ruined the entire strategy, and the Red Sox fell down.
