The Red Sox and Yankees went down different roads, and the rivalry has suffered for it
The Yankees are a legitimate contender to return to the World Series. At this point the Red Sox would do well to finish 81-81 for a second consecutive season. Sure, the Red Sox have had to deal with some significant injuries. Triston Casas is Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Related : Advertisement The most significant injury was the loss of Alex Bregman to a quad strain, although his timeline appears to be better than was first thought. But the Yankees lost Juan Soto to the Mets in free agency then learned at the start of spring training that Gerrit Cole They haven't had Giancarlo Stanton all season because of inflammation in both elbows. Righthander Luis Gil, the American League Rookie of the Year in 2024, has been out all year with a lat strain. The Yankees had far more significant losses and have persevered. They have left the Red Sox behind. Advertisement Why? The Yankees are a sharply focused organization that has deftly blended a high payroll with a productive farm system. If they go on to win the American League East this season it would be for the third time in four years. It's a testament to stability. General manager Brian Cashman has been in charge of baseball operations since 1998. They've missed the playoffs five times in his tenure. The Sox have missed the playoffs five times since 2019. Cashman's chief lieutenants — Jean Afterman, Mike Fishman, Tim Naehring, Damon Oppenheimer, and Kevin Reese — have all been in the front office for at least 18 years. The Yankees have the requisite number of analysts, scientists, and researchers but Cashman also values the advice of former general managers Omar Minaya and Brian Sabean, who are on the payroll. Aaron Boone is the third manager since 1996. Joe Torre held the job for 12 years, Joe Girardi for 10 years, and now Boone is in his eighth season. The Red Sox thrived with chaos and change for a while. Terry Francona won two championships working with Theo Epstein during a long stretch together. Ben Cherington made the right hire at the right time when he picked John Farrell to manage the 2013 team. Dave Dombrowski hired Alex Cora to manage the 2018 team and they presided over a powerhouse. The years since have been a muddle. The Sox lowered payroll and hoped that Chaim Bloom and now Craig Breslow would build sustainable winner. It hasn't happened. There's been only endless roster churn since and plans gone awry. It's incumbent on teams to get creative when building a roster and take some chances. Breslow tried that by signing Lucas Giolito, Liam Hendriks, and Advertisement The result so far has been minus-0.7 bWAR and an overworked bullpen. Boone said the necessary things before the He was being diplomatic. Until the Red Sox prove otherwise, they're at a level below the Yankees and the rivalry is more history than a happening these days. Peter Abraham can be reached at

Last Night in Baseball: Francisco Lindor hits two-run double on broken toe
Another day, another slew of must-see moments from some of baseball's biggest starts. Here are all the best moments from Friday night in Major League Baseball : Anthony Volpe homers before being forced from game after hit by pitch Volpe homered in a five-run first inning, then came out after he was hit by a pitch on the left elbow as the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox on Friday night, 9-6, in the AL rivals' first meeting this year. Volpe was hit by an 88.2 mph pitch from Walker Buehler in the second, then was replaced at the start of the fourth. New York manager Aaron Boone said X-rays and a CT scan were negative. Aaron Judge had his ninth game with three or more hits, raising his major league-leading average to .397. Before a sellout crowd of 46,783, Jazz Chisholm Jr. had three hits, including a homer in the first, four RBIs and two stolen bases. Paul Goldschmidt also homered for the Yankees, who led 7-0 after the second and 8-1 following the fifth. Every New York starter had a hit (39-23), which has won 15 of 20 games to move a season-high 16 games over .500. Jeremy Peña extends hitting streak to 12 games in Houston Astros' win Peña had three hits to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, Colton Gordon got his first major league win and the Houston Astros defeated the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night, 4-2. Christian Walker drove in a pair of runs in the fifth inning, and Brendan Rodgers added a solo shot in the sixth as the Astros improved to 3-1 on their six-game road trip. Gordon (1-1), who was making his fifth start, allowed one run on seven hits and struck out five. The left-hander was an eighth-round pick in the 2021 amateur draft. Josh Hader recorded his 17th save, tied for second in the American League. Tarik Skubal stars as the Detroit Tigers top the Chicago Cubs in a matchup of division leaders Skubal pitched one-run ball into the eighth inning, and the Tigers beat the Cubs on Friday night, 3-1, in the opener of a weekend series between two of the majors' best teams. Skubal (6-2) allowed eight hits, struck out six and walked none in 7 2/3 innings. In his past 11 starts, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner is 6-0 with a 1.61 ERA, 95 strikeouts and three walks. Skubal left with runners on the corners, then had to wait out a dramatic moment. Seiya Suzuki lifted a deep flyball to right off Will Vest, but Kerry Carpenter reached above the wall to keep Detroit in front. Vest got four outs for his 10th save. Cubs right-hander Ben Brown (3-4) permitted two runs and seven hits in seven innings. Spencer Torkelson and Jahmai Jones homered for the AL Central-leading Tigers. Francisco Lindor hits two-run double on broken toe in New York Mets' win Lindor had a soothing remedy for his broken right pinky toe — a go-ahead hit. Questionable before Friday's game, the Mets shortstop entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and delivered a two-run double to send New York to a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Lindor sent a cutter from reliever Zach Agnos (0-2) into right field to score Juan Soto and a sliding Pete Alonso. It was Lindor's first go-ahead, pinch-hit RBI of his career, according to the postgame notes. Lindor's availability — pain and all — comes as no surprise to Alonso. "That's really special, having a teammate willing to put his body on the line every single day like that," said Alonso, who had a big game with his bat (a two-run double), his arm (he threw out a runner at home in the fifth) and his sliding ability (he avoided a tag at home on Lindor's double). "That's a true pro, in my opinion, and he embodies that." Jonathan Aranda drives in two, Tampa Bay Rays win their fourth straight Aranda drove in two runs Friday to lead the Rays over the Miami Marlins, 4-3, at George M. Steinbrenner Field. It was the Rays' fourth straight win to improve to 34-29, and the Marlins' fifth consecutive loss to drop to 23-38. Aranda is hitting .379 at the Rays' temporary home ballpark. He drove in the first run on a single in the first inning, just one of two hits the Rays got with runners in scoring position in 14 chances. He drove in another run on a groundout in the two-run third inning. Aranda singled again in the seventh and scored what turned out to be the winning run after singles by Jake Mangum and Matt Thaiss. Zack Littell (6-5) held the Marlins to one run on six hits over six innings. Agustin Ramirez homered off Littell in the fourth inning and Otto Lopez hit a two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning off Edwin Uceta. Edward Cabrera (2-2) took the loss for the Marlins. Pete Fairbanks got his 12th save in front of a crowd of 8,448. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

MLB Insider Lists Yankees Interim Closer as Potential Trade Candidate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. When the New York Yankees made a deal to acquire former Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams, many expected him to thrive with his new team. The duo of Williams and Luke Weaver in the backend of New York's bullpen had the potential to be one of the best in the game, but it has not quite gone that way. Williams has a 6.35 ERA and minus-0.6 WAR across 26 games and 22 2/3 innings pitched. His first season in a Yankees uniform has not gone how he envisioned it would and that may be why Mark Feinsand of listed Williams as a player that needs a change of scenery. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 03: Devin Williams #38 of the New York Yankees throws a pitch during the ninth inning of the game against the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium on June 03,... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 03: Devin Williams #38 of the New York Yankees throws a pitch during the ninth inning of the game against the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium on June 03, 2025 in New York City. More"At first glance, trading the two-time All-Star reliever after acquiring him this winter seems like a crazy idea, but Williams has never seemed comfortable since joining the Yankees during the offseason," Feinsand wrote. "There was the facial hair issue during spring training, then a rocky start (10.00 ERA in his first 10 appearances) that cost him the closer's job before the end of April." Feinsand predicts that when New York's current closer Luke Weaver returns from the injured list, Williams' days in a Yankees uniform could be numbered. "He's been better during the past month (2.45 ERA in 12 appearances), but Williams will be a free agent after the season and seems unlikely to return to the Yankees in 2026," he wrote. "With Luke Weaver firmly entrenched as the closer (at least once he returns from the IL in a month or so), New York could look to move Williams later in July to get a return for him rather than watching him walk as a free agent." If New York decides to move off Williams when Weaver returns, teams such as the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals could use relief pitching help.
