After out-scoring the Red Sox 26-15 in last night’s doubleheader, the Yankees pummeled Boston again, beating the BoSox 13-5 this afternoon at Fenway:
BOSTON (AP) — Johnny Damon again punished his former team, hitting three doubles and sparking a five-run, tie-breaking rally in the sixth to help the New York Yankees beat Boston 13-5 on Saturday and extend their lead in the AL East to a season-high 4? games.
The Yankees scored at least 12 runs in winning each of the first three of the five-game series, evoking memories of the 1978 “Boston Massacre” — a four-game September sweep that erased the rest of what had been a 14-game deficit in the AL East. The Yankees won the division that year on Bucky Dent’s popup homer in a one-game tiebreaker.
Yes, I’m sure the boys in Boston remember Bucky Dent. And Johnny Damon probably isn’t far behind at this point.
