Red Sox Yankees rival series

This week the Boston Red Sox played their rivals the New York Yankees. With unexpected injuries and lucky hits by the Yankees the Sox lost the game and the series to the Yankees. The sox won one game out of four games in the series and lost 7 out of their 10 games this season. In the last game in the series Red Sox manager John Farrell got angry on Sunday night after a replay call was challenged and overturned, leading to the Yankees scoring what ended up being the deciding run in the series finale. Farrell was ejected becuase managers have been instructed not to argue plays under review.mThe play happened in the bottom of the fourth inning, when Cervelli hit a grounder to third, with the Red Sox trying to do a double play. MCervelli, who was injured on the play, was originally ruled out at first. But Yankees manager Joe Girardi challenged it, and the call was overturned. After it was overturned, McCann's run that wouldn't have counted if the inning had ended on the double play counted. That was the deciding factor I'm the Red Sox lossing the game, 3-2. Farrell said "We felt that it was clear that the replay was inconclusive, Any angle that we looked at, you couldn't tell if the foot was on the bag behind Mike Napol's leg." Some of Farrell's frustration was from Saturday, when he challenged a call at second base on a double by .Dean Anna thee call stayed, after the game, Major League Baseball said that it should have been overturned. Both teams had key players injured. The Red Sox had Dustin Pedroia in their original lineup, but he was taken out with pain in his left wrist. The Yankees did not have Derek Jeter for the second game in a row because of a tight right quadriceps. Beltran went 3 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs for the Yankees. Jacoby Ellsbury was 1 for 4 and finished the series 5 for 14 against his former team. He ended the game with a sliding catch to take at least a double away from Sizemore.
