At least the Red Sox’ social media team can joke about the misery. Boston’s long national nightmare ended Wednesday, at least for a day, when the Red Sox snapped their nine-game losing streak and beat the Phillies 6-3. Their official Twitter account had a tweet ready to go to mark the occasion, with a line …

Just when the rivalry between the Yankees and Boston Red Sox seemed dead, Christian Vazquez fed the beast some trash talk. The first-place Yankees finished off a four-game sweep of the last-place Red Sox on Monday to extend their winning streak in the series to 10 games (seven this year) dating back to last season. …

This is the way it was — or at least the way it seemed — during the cozy 86 years that connected 1918 and 2004. For years, from New England, we would hear tortured tales of “The Rivalry,” about how the Red Sox could never quite get over the hump against their ancient rivals, the …

The Red Sox have reached the team meeting stage of a bad season. Before losing a second straight game to the Yankees on Saturday night — and fifth straight overall — the Red Sox held a team meeting at their hotel in New York to try to turn things around. It hasn’t paid immediate dividends, …

The Yankees continued to roll through the AL East with a 4-2 win over the Red Sox on Sunday night and got the first solid outing of the season from J.A. Happ. The left-hander allowed one run over 5 ²/₃ innings after having his starts pushed back — or skipped — and his results had …

On Saturday, they belted three homers — including one from …

Pause it! And we aren’t talking about the baseball season. Based on the last three Red Sox-Yankees games this weekend at Yankee Stadium, the best rivalry in baseball is on furlough due to a wide gulf in talent for teams that are headed in distinctly different directions. To qualify as a rivalry, every game needs …

A scorching heat wave may have left The Bronx, but Aaron Judge remains nuclear hot. Judge’s third homer in as many games, to go with Jordan Montgomery’s solid first start, a home run by Gio Urshela and a dominating relief outing from Chad Green propelled the Yankees to a 5-1 victory at an empty Yankee …

Edwin Diaz is getting off easy. The cardboard cutouts will remain quiet. Following a brutal debut season in Queens spent absorbing venom from Mets fans, Diaz has quickly destroyed any optimism of a bounce-back campaign, and potentially lost the trust of new manager Luis Rojas, with his second straight ninth-inning meltdown coming in Thursday’s 4-2 …

The sight of Seth Lugo or Justin Wilson to protect a lead or tie usually ensures the Mets are in good shape, but Wednesday night they got hit with a double whammy. First, the ultra-reliable Lugo flushed a lead in the seventh inning by surrendering a long ball to tie it. Wilson took matters a …
