Boston Red Sox added fuel to the fire and lived to tell the tale. Before the rubber match of the Red Sox's three-game series with the New York Yankees, rookie starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins told the Boston Herald that he'd retire if New York was the only team to offer him a contract.

Former Yankees catcher Carlos Narváez crushed a go-ahead, three-run homer in the sixth inning, one of five Sox long balls in the game.

The Boston Red Sox just took two of three games against the New York Yankees. However, they could still end up being sellers at the trade deadline.

A new report from Bob Nightengale of USA Today suggests that Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora's job is safe, despite the team's mediocre and sloppy play.
