The Yankees made it exciting in the ninth, but fell a run short.
The Yankees weren’t really overpowered in the series. Although they lost that 16-1 blowout, they actually outscored Boston 13-11 in the other three games. Two of their losses were by a single run.
The league championships seem to have the right teams for a change. The Bosox and Astros had the best records in the AL. The Brewers had the best record in the NL, and the Dodgers had the best run differential (by a very wide margin).
Two great match-ups.
