Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Post Game Recap

Final Score: Red Sox 13 Yankees 9

The New York Yankees suffered yet another loss to the Boston Red Sox at home on Saturday afternoon. The loss moves the Yankees to (75-67), which is three games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot.

David Huff was brought in to the rotation to take the spot of the struggling Phil Hughes, but on Saturday afternoon it was Huff who got shelled, as he picked up his first loss as a Yankee. Mike Napoli who was the hero of Friday nights game wasted little time putting his mark on Saturday's game, as he hit a two-run home run in the second inning to get the Red Sox the early lead. In the third inning the long ball would hurt Huff again, as this time it was a three-run home run by Johnny Gomes. The fourth inning would be the last for Huff, as the Red Sox really broke it open starting with a Ryan Lavarnway double. A RBI ground out by Xander Bogaerts, which was followed by a double by Shane Victorino would make it a 8-2 game, and it would kick Huff from the ball game. Huff would go just 3.1 innings allowing nine runs on eight hits, as Jim Miller would give up a base-hit to Johnny Gomes, which scored Victorino, finishing off Huff's line.

W2W4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New York Jets

The New York Jets will be kicking off their 2013-2014 season at home with a new regime running the show after an off-season of lots of change, as they will be facing off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a familiar face in Darrelle Revis.

- Return Of Revis Island

Revis will be making his return to Met Life Stadium after tearing up his knee last year, but this year he wont be playing in the green and white anymore, as in one of the biggest moves of the off-season, Revis was sent to the Buccaneers. It will be something to watch for early to see how the Jets attack their former best player coming off surgery, as they may look to run outside to his side, or possibly have Geno Smith go at him in the passing game to see just how healthy Revis is.

The New York Yankees were able to pull out the win on Labor Day against the Chicago White Sox despite a lengthy rain delay. The win puts the Yankees at (73-64), which are 2.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the second Wild Card spot.

After an almost two-hour rain delay both Starters for each team didn’t come back to the mound once the game was finally resumed. Unfortunately for Jose Quintana the first inning run he allowed on a base-hit by Derek Jeter gave him his fifth loss of the season.

David Huff came in relief of Phil Hughes for the Yankees, and really shined earning his second win of the season. Huff went 5.2 innings allowing just one run on five hits in the win. The one mistake by Huff came in the seventh inning, when Paul Konerko hit a solo-home run, which was his 10th of the season, and the only run the white Sox would score on Monday.
