Yankees inch closer to pennant with six straight at Fenway
New York tied Boston 2 2 in the ninth as Allie Reynolds pitched and hit to seal a 3 2 win in the final game of a vital three game set. The victory gives the Yankees a six game win streak at Fenway Park, a record for Casey Stengel’s pennant teams. Reynolds, who had a no hitter in last year’s tie clincher, delivered again as the Yankees moved toward the possible playoff scenario.
