The most-watched regular season baseball game in three years wasn't particularly close, but it did feature the Red Sox and Yankees and that might have been enough.

During the New York Yankees' series last week against their rival, the Boston Red Sox, one Boston pitcher had some strong words about the rivalry, which dates back to the early days of the MLB and is one of the most notorious feuds in sports.

Carlos Narváez put Boston ahead with a three-run homer against his former team, and the Red Sox overcame two home runs by Aaron Judge in an 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees.
