All good things must come to an end, including CC Sabathia‘s winless streak against the Red Sox this season and Boston’s explosive offense. Sabathia allowed just two earned runs in six innings Tuesday night at Fenway, and the Red Sox left 16 men on base, losing to the Yankees, 5-2. Boston now leads New York [...]

Despite the difference in payrolls and overall talent, there’s usually not that much separating the Red Sox and Yankees. 2010 is no different, as both teams entered Wednesday night’s game at 1-1.
