Game 2 between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees starts on Wednesday. The fiercest rivals in the league meet each other once again. New York had the last laugh in Game 1, taking it away from the hands of the Red Sox by just a whisker.
"Rivalry Rockin." - Yankees
It wasn't an easy loss for the Red Sox to digest. They are already in one of their worst seasons. Add a loss to the Yankees is just unacceptable to the entire city of Boston. To add more fuel to the fire, they lost the game at home. The team is now 69-73 this season, sitting last in the American League East. Game 2 is their only hope for redemption.
"Final (10): Yankees 7, #RedSox 6" - Red Sox
New York is having an amazing season so far. They are at the top of the division with an excellent record of 86-56. Yesterday's win was not easy. The Yankees had to go the extra mile but eventually won the game 7-6.
Boston can't afford to lose back-to-back games against the Yankees. It will be very difficult for the fans to digest, as the away team is their least favorite of all the teams in the league. Expect Game 2 to be full of fire and aggression.
