DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT THE YANKEES ARE BURYING THE SOX

The Yankees have woken up.  Now if we can continue to stay consistent and bury the Red Sox, I will be a very happy guy. The Yankees showed up at Fenway on Saturday night and reminded Boston who’s boss, taking a 5–3 win that not only clinched the series but also sent the Red Sox to their third straight loss. 

September baseball at Fenway is supposed to be dramatic—unless, of course, you’re a Red Sox fan watching Aaron Judge walk all over your pitching staff.

Judge reached base four times and scored twice, Cody Bellinger drove in two runs like it was second nature, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. turned the night into his own highlight reel, adding three RBIs and a solo homer. Meanwhile, Max Fried kept cruising, collecting his league-leading 17th victory with six strikeouts, looking every bit like a man on a mission toward October.

And yes, Anthony Volpe was absent again. No, the Yankees aren’t suddenly cruel—they’re just wising up. Volpe’s bat has been dragging at .206 with a .661 OPS, and his defense has slipped too. Enter José Caballero: high-energy, steady glove, and most importantly, not handing free outs to the other team. This isn’t Little League where everyone gets a turn—this is the Yankees chasing wins, and Caballero helps deliver them.

The Bombers knocked Brayan Bello around for four runs before the Red Sox could even think about damage control, padding their cushion to 2½ games over Boston for the top wild-card spot. The Blue Jays, however, continue to hog the top of the AL East, refusing to hand over any ground.

So the stage is set for Sunday night: Yankees aiming for a sweep, Red Sox praying to stop the bleeding. One team’s building October momentum, the other’s looking like they’re already shopping for tee times.
