Well, that was interesting.

The Yankees took a 4-0 lead and then led 6-2, but the Sox kept plugging away and New York's sloppiness in the field and in relief caught up to them.

JD Martinez was one offensive hero with a game-tying home run. Trevor Story, with a 3-run double to give the Sox a commanding lead, was the other.

On to Tampa to see if they can build off this.
