  1. Home run!published at 20:06 BST

    And now the Yankees have some serious momentum.

    Heliot Ramos tees off on a loose pitch from Suarez and launches a fly ball to left field for a home run.

    That brings home Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger and makes it 5-0 in the Bronx.

    Red Sox fans will be going back to that Rafaela play because it has undoubtedly changed the direction of this game.

    But the Yankees have been ruthless throughout this inning.

  2. Yankees score!published at 20:03 BST

    And the Yankees take full advantage and have the lead!

    Paul Goldschmidt works a ground ball past Ranger Suarez and through the middle between short stop and second base.

    Jose Caballero scores from third base and Jazz Chisholm Jr. makes it home from second.

    That makes it 2-0 to the Yankees. That play by Cedanne Rafaela looks even more controversial now.

  3. Red Sox challenge unsuccessfulpublished at 19:59 BST

    This could be a big moment in the fifth inning with the game still scoreless.

    Ceddanne Rafaela chases down a line drive from Jazz Chisholm Jr. and dives full length to try and make the catch.

    The umpire's say he just missed it but the replays look like he may have pulled it off so the Red Sox challenge the play.

    In the end the challenge is unsuccessful and that means the Yankees now have players on first and second base with no outs.

    Another great Sunday evening ball-game, it's not my beloved Phillies but never mind!

    Sorry Gary, we can't have the Phillies every week.

    Maybe when this one is over you can enjoy last week's walk-off win again. It's still available on BBC iPlayer right here.

    Through three innings at Yankee Stadium and we are yet to see either side score.

    The Yankees and Red Sox finished off with just one run between them on Friday when the Yankees scored early in the opening game of the series.

    Let's hope this is just a slow start - we want home runs!

    Ben Rice of the New York Yankees celebrates during last night's win over the Boston Red Sox.

    The Yankees have won two of the first three games in this crucial final series between the two sides in the regular season.

    Last night the Yankees ran out 9-2 winners as they ran in five runs in the eighth inning to close out victory.

    Earlier in the day the Red Sox had closed out an impressive 6-0 victory to square up the series after the Yankees won the opener on Friday night 1-0.

    So the Yankees will be eager to close out a 3-1 series win today while the Red Sox will be desperate to avoid defeat.

    For more than a hundred years there has been more than enough enmity between these two big city rivals and as we approach the final month of the season with the race for the play-offs building nicely, this one really matters.

    The first pitch is coming up around 18:35 BST.
