New York Yankees did not have a great outing against their arch-rivals as Boston Red Sox finished the series with a clean sweep. The team is not able to find a win for a long time. And the frustrating part for the Bombers is the rivalry between them and the Red Sox. Suddenly, the Boston side is enjoying a clear domination over their arch-rivals. They have won eight games of the last nine encounters between the two teams. Even the Yankees manager Aaron Boone accepted that “The Red Sox sure did kick our butt.” It is gradually becoming a one-sided domination between the two sides.
The Yankees have lost eight games on the trot, and fans can’t believe it is happening. But the season-winning streak of the most successful MLB side is in jeopardy. They are not contenders anymore. Instead, the Yankees have become afterthoughts. Moreover, the streak of winning seasons is on the verge of ending. The Bombers enjoyed this streak for thirty years in a row. However, they are having one of the worst seasons in their franchise history. Now, the next three-game series for Aaron Boone’s side will be against Washington Nationals. But the teams also meet each other at special events.

The Yankees and the Tigers will attend the Little League World Series as part of the theme of the Little League before their contest. This game of Major League Baseball will happen at Muncy Bank Ballpark in the same town which hosts the Little League World Series annually.
