As for the Red Sox? Well the Yankees got themselves in a sticky situation and the game never seemed in doubt.

Giants get a great pitched game at Coors Field and they can’t even get 3 runs? I thought you were supposed to score at will in Coors! And what the hell happened to the A’s reliable bullpen?
