The Boston Red Sox have a season-long four-game winning streak after sweeping the rival New York Yankees at Fenway Park over the weekend.

New York, meanwhile, has fallen out of first place in the AL East and is one defeat away from matching its season-long losing streak of five games.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone discussed Boston's sweep following Sunday night's extra-inning affair, which the Red Sox won 5-4 in 10 innings.
"That’s what we do, baby," Boone said, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. "You’ve got to love this stuff. You’ve got to eat this stuff up. It’s a sickness. That’s what the grind is. We’ve got a really good freaking team. We played crappy on this trip, kind of. It feels bad. Kind of pissed off, right? But it’s what we do. It’s what you signed up for. We’ll dig ourselves out of it and get it going here in short order. The bottom line is we didn’t play well this weekend, and we’ve got to do better."
The 53-year-old sounded surprisingly optimistic for leading a team that just dropped four straight against their longtime rivals.
New York is still without injured three-time AL MVP outfielder Aaron Judge as well and won't have much time to rest before trying to end its skid.
The Yankees host the Detroit Tigers at 7:05 p.m. ET on Monday in the first of a three-game set.
