Three games are in the books, and the Red Sox maintain a winning record. But two wins against the Phillies won't mean much if the Red Sox can't handle business against their division rivals, and even if the Yankees aren't the most threatening, they're in some ways still the most important. A season with a winning record against them is, at least in one way, a season well spent.
Thank God for American League lineups.
Go Sox!
