It was a series that opened with the uncertainty of a postponement, six assignments to the COVID-19 injured list prompting an odd scene of unfamiliar teammates exchanging scouting reports. With the division-leading Red Sox in town, the Yankees could have easily buckled or folded. They did not.
Jameson Taillon pitched scorelessly into the sixth inning and Rougned Odor’s two-run homer broke the game open as the Yankees celebrated their third straight series win, notching a 9-1 victory over Boston on Sunday evening at Yankee Stadium.
