Sep 30, 2018 11:15 PM

With a two-run shot from Gleyber Torres in the fourth inning at Fenway Park on Saturday, the Yankees set a record for home runs hit in a single season by a team. The blast, off Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, was their 265th, surpassing the previous record of 264 hit by the 1997 Mariners.

"Everybody knew that was the number," said Torres, who kept pumping his fist as he rounded first during his home run trot.

Red Sox Clinch Third Straight AL East Title

Sep 22, 2018 12:13 PM

The Boston Red Sox clinched their third straight American League East title with a win over the rival New York Yankees in the Bronx on Thursday night.

Mookie Betts had four hits and five RBI as the Red Sox avoided a sweep and won 11-6.

"Winning a division isn't easy," J.D. Martinez said. "It's tough to do. This all started in spring training with the mindset we had right off the bat. The goal here is to win. We're obviously not done. But it's the first step, and we're proud of it."

The Red Sox are expected to face either the Yankees or Oakland Athletics in the ALDS.
