Sox 7, Yankees 3: Sox Sweep the Series
What is up with two-game series? One rainout later and the Sox have their first sweep of the Yankees. This was a strange game - balls blowing into the wind, knocked down like flies before the gods, until David Ortiz - who else, right? - did what no one else could, launched a shot that broke through the hurling winds out of the park. Against a lefty, no less. And a lefty specialist like Mike Myers, who till that point had been having a great season for a LOOGY. (Ex-2004 Sox pitchers having great seasons: Pedro, Arroyo, Myers...) Less impressive, but a good sign I thought, was Ortiz beating the shift early on by hitting to the opposite field.
Meanwhile, yes, the Doug Mirabelli saga was one of those seriously melodramatic moments of Sox lore. Here's the NPR report.

Red Sox did not sweep the series!
The yankees have a make up date to see who will win the series!
Its not over yet!

A series is "A number of objects or events arranged or coming one after the other in succession."
Thus the postponed game becomes part of the series in August, and Mondays game stands alone which means the Sox swept the Yankees.
