Red Sox 8, Yankees 5 (Standing Like Greyhounds In The Slip)

Yankees - 120 000 020 - 5 13  2
Red Sox - 015 000 02x - 8 13  0
Baseball's reigning champions began 2019's Grapefruit League schedule by dispatching their long-time rivals in an off-hand manner likely to be replicated many times over the summer.

The Red Sox's day unfolded thusly: Come out, bask in the sun, realize the Yankees have a quick 3-0 lead, decide to start paying attention, score five runs in the third inning, replace New York's three-run lead with one of their own, know the MFY won't be doing shit for the rest of the afternoon, relax and enjoy the next two hours, barely notice when the Yankees get a couple of additional runs, promptly do the same, and whatever...

Michael Chavis, Rafael Devers, Tzu-Wei Lin, and Bryce Brentz each had two hits. Chavis hit a three-run homer.

The game is afoot.

Reposted after grahams pointed out I had an score-in-progress in the title...

I thought the originally posted score was intentional based on the “barely notice when the Yankees get a couple of additional runs” line :)
