A win of a 20-7 score, or a loss by the same score only counts as 1 game in the standings, and doesn’t count for anything the next game. The Yankees are in town, and taking 2-3 from them will talk some fans down off the ledge just like the night before when the Red Sox shutout the Rockies for their only win on the trip. It’s still only July 24, and there are 60 games to go, and most likely securing a postseason berth will go right down to the last of those 60 games.
