The Red Sox are 8-0 against the Yankees this season, but closer Jonathan Papelbon isn't overly excited.

"It's big," Papelbon said. "I feel like we've set some tone, but the ones in September are bigger, and I think everyone realizes that."

Papelbon has pitched four times against the Yankees this season; recording two saves in two chances. He has thrown 4 2/3 innings, struck out six, walked five and hasn't allowed a single run.
