The Yankees overcame a very untimely Jose Caballero tantrum on Wednesday night to beat the Rays in 10 innings and head home after a 5-0, two-city road trip.

Thursday was the 109th game Alex Cora has managed against Aaron Boone since they took their respective jobs in 2018. The Sox manager knew his team had to take advantage of a tired opponent.

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will renew their rivalry on Thursday, opening a four-game series at Yankee Stadium that has obvious playoff implications. The Yankees enter Thursday with a 1 ½ game lead over the Red Sox for the American League's top wild card spot.
