Red Sox Surge Has the Yankees on Notice

The Red Sox have erased a 15.5-game Yankees advantage with a staggering 31-5 run, forcing Evan Roberts to reconsider just how real Boston has become. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan, and Shaun remains defiant, insisting the Yankees will still finish ahead of the Red Sox despite Boston’s stunning surge.

The timing is impossible to ignore. Boston’s run began the same night Michael Kay mocked Red Sox fans for chanting “Yankees suck,” giving Evan a perfect new jinx candidate. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge remains out, the Yankees have played .500 baseball without him, and Evan questions whether that changes anytime soon. Shaun sees the opposite, predicting the Yankees are about to heat up before a huge late-August showdown with Boston.
