"Respectfully what the f*** was that" "I thought we were about to blow them out, but then the red socks hit that reverse uno card" - New York Yankees fans up in arms after meltdown against the Boston Red Sox

After a rare collapse, the New York Yankees succumbed to the Boston Red Sox in today's game. It was the first time that the Yankees gave up more than 10 runs this season. It was also the first double-digit run game for their opposition since the Blue Jays beat them in Toronto on June 19.

The two rivals split the series 2-2. The Red Sox improved to 47-39, while the Yankees fell to 61-25.

The New York Yankees are still ahead in the division by 15 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox, who are now in second place. However, losing to their biggest rivals is always considered a disappointment to the Yankee faithful.

The Yankees built up a comfortable lead in the third inning after Matt Carpenter's two-run blast that put them up 6-2. However, the Red Sox rallied back in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Christian Vazquez doubled with an RBI, and J.D. Martinez scored a two-run shot in the inning to tie the ballgame at 6-6.

The Boston Red Sox weren't done, though, as they kept pouring on the New York Yankees and annihilated them. They would score five combined runs in the succeeding two innings to hand the Yankees a split in their series.

Even New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone couldn't keep his emotions in check and was tossed in the top of the seventh inning. He argued with home plate umpire Tripp Gibson about the strike zone and was dismissed from the game.

Both Yankees starter James Taillon and Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta gave up six runs.

This time, however, the Yankees' bullpen failed to deliver as Miguel Castro issued two earned runs of his own.

Four Boston relievers checked into the game and were almost spotless, giving up no earned runs and issuing just three combined hits.

The Yankees' defense was abysmal in the game, and it didn't help their chances of winning as they committed two errors.

It was the second straight day that the Boston Red Sox came from behind to beat the New York Yankees.

Yesterday, they went on an inspired run to walk off the Yankees in the 10th inning. This would certainly give fuel to the Red Sox for their upcoming series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Yankees, on the other hand, will look to recuperate from their heart-wrenching losses in the past two days. They will host the Cincinnati Reds next for a three-game interleague series.
