Game thread: Yankees (68-42) at Red Sox (68-42)

The Yankees and Red Sox begin play tonight tied at the top of the AL East.

The Red Sox have won eight of the nine matchups between the two rivals this season, but the Yankees are currently riding a seven-game winning streak.

Something has to give, and all we know for sure is that one of these teams will be sitting alone in first place at COB Sunday.
