It Was A Good Day. Dig if you will the picture ...
Angels     000 001 024 -  7 15  2

Red Sox 410 100 40x - 10 16 1

Cleveland 333 061 006 - 22 22 1
Yankees 000 000 000 - 0 5 0
Before tonight, the Yankees had never lost by more than 18 runs (24-6 at Cleveland on July 29, 1928 and 19-1 at home against Detroit on June 17, 1925) and had never been shutout by more than 15 runs (15-0 at home against the White Sox on May 4, 1950). Cleveland also set a team record for largest shutout win, topping its 19-0 rout of Boston on May 18, 1955. ... And George Steinbrenner was on hand to watch!

In Boston, the Red Sox won for the 19th time in 23 games. In the last 2 weeks, Boston has gone 13-1 while New York has won only 6 of 14.
