McAdam: Red Sox keep coming back until the end

When the Sox went meekly in the eighth, it seemed that this one was going to slip through their hands.

That was particularly tough prospect given the quality of the opponent. Ravaged by COVID and a string of other baseball injuries which have since followed, the Yankee lineup featured five major league-quality players. And a loss, now just three outs away, would have dropped the Sox into a tie with the Tampa Bay Rays, who had won earlier in the night.
