* They’re 7-9 vs. the Red Sox this season, including 6-3 at Yankee Stadium … needed to sweep this series to prevent the Red Sox from clinching the AL East during the series.
* The Yankees drew their 23rd home sellout, extending their single-season record for the current Yankee Stadium…their 47,351 attendance was their highest at Yankee Stadium this season.
* Marked the Yankees’ longest nine-inning game of the season, their first nine-inning game to reach four hours since 8/24/17 at Detroit (4:13)…was the longest nine-inning game at Yankee Stadium since a 22-9 win on 8/25/11 vs. Oakland (4:31).
