Chisholm was 3 for 5 with three RBIs and one run scored, plus socked his 29th home run of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees improved to 21-9 in their past 30 games and won for the seventh time in their past 11 games \u2014 their past 11 games have come against all three AL division leaders plus the first two games against Boston.<\/p>\n<h2>What Did Jazz Chisholm Say About the Yankees?<\/h2>\n<p>Chisholm wears his emotions on his sleeves, and after clinching the Yankees\u2019 third series win in their past four, he put the rest of the league on notice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re the best team in the league,\u201d Chisholm said. \u201cAny team that thinks they\u2019re better than us, they should know that when we step on the field, we\u2019re coming with relentlessness. We\u2019re coming to step on necks. We\u2019re not here to play around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Aaron Judge is likely to win his second straight American League MVP Award, Chisholm has been a catalyst for New York\u2019s elite offense, which leads the majors in home runs (250) and runs scored (765). He is third on the Yankees in home runs and RBIs (72) and leads them in stolen bases \u2014 he\u2019s one homer away from his first career 30-30 season.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Chisholm\u2019s confidence stems from the Yankees\u2019 sudden clean play, especially against the top teams in the AL. Aside from winning series against the Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays and now the Red Sox \u2014 they won one of three games at home from the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers \u2014 the Yankees have pitched well and played better defense, especially in the games they have won<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve said it all year long: we\u2019ve been playing to everybody else\u2019s level instead of our own level,\u201d Chisholm said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been losing games ourselves; making errors, just having poor at-bats and stuff like that. We finally looked ourselves in the mirror and realized that we\u2019re the team to beat. That\u2019s how we\u2019ve been stepping on the field for the past two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What Did The Yankees Say About Winning Their Series Against The Red Sox?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s been a cathartic weekend in Boston for the Yankees, since they won just their fourth game in 12 head-to-heads against the Red Sox. They finally got to Boston\u2019s No. 2 starter Brayan Bello \u2014 who had thrown 14 scoreless inning against the Yankees in two starts \u2014 touching up the righty for four runs on five hits and three walks in five innings.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees ace Max Fried scattered nine hits and allowed two runs in 5 1\/3 innings, but the Yankees bullpen \u2014 Luke Weaver, Devin Williams, Fernando Cruz and closer David Bednar \u2014 allowed just one run on Jarren Duran\u2019s eighth-inning homer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a playoff atmosphere right there,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHuge matchup, huge game, a lot on the line. It just takes me back to some of those moments last year, to just kind of feel the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pat Pickens is an experienced sports writer and media personality who has written for outlets like NHL.com, the Associated Press, the New York Times and USA Today.
