With the absence of Aaron Judge due to injury, their chances of winning games go down dramatically. However, they would still have fancied their chances against a struggling Boston Red Sox team. Yet, the Bombers could not do enough in the end as the Red Sox won by a fine margin. The next two games will be crucial for their hopes of keeping their position in their division.
