"The Boston Red Sox rolled over the New York Yankees 12-1 on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, moving to 71-59 on the season. Boston owns the top wild card spot in the American League, and they are 1.5 games ahead of New York for that distinction. They are also two games ahead of Seattle, who is in the No. 3 spot. They are five games ahead of the Kansas City Royals, who are the first team out."
"The Red Sox offense was plentiful, pounding out 17 hits, with Trevor Story and Carlos Narvaez each hitting home runs, but the group also got a great start from big left-hander Garrett Crochet. Acquired from the Chicago White Sox in a trade over the offseason, Crochet is now 14-5 with a 2.38 ERA. He gave up just one run over seven innings on Saturday, while striking out 11."
