The New York Yankees can only hope for a series split after dropping two games to the Boston Red Sox.

The New York Yankees struggled to score runs yet again as Gerrit Cole wasn’t enough to stop the bleeding. Rafael Devers slugged two homers as the Boston Red Sox rolled to a 6-2 win and took the first two of a four-game set at Fenway Park.

Boston remains in first place in the AL East and the Yankees in third. Yet, New York once again trails by nine games.
