The Yankees don't lose at home and they certainly don't lose to the Red Sox. After sweeping the Red Sox in a three-game series a couple of weeks ago at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees swept them again, this time in a four-game series. The Yankees have now won 10 straight against the Red Sox for the first time since 1952-53.
With the four wins over the Red Sox, the Yankees have now won six straight and are 16-6 with a three-game lead in the loss column over the Rays. If the Yankees' winning streak continues through the three-game series with the Rays beginning on Tuesday, the division will be over with 35 games left to play.
