Here are my photos from game four of the American League Division Series between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Wow, what a game, and what a night to be a part of. After a strong start by Rick Porcello, a collaborative bullpen effort including an eighth inning appearance by Chris Sale, and timely hitting, the Red Sox held on to win 4-3 and clinch their spot in the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros. After the game, the celebration was in full force on the field and in the clubhouse. These nights are so fun to shoot, and last night was a special one. We flew straight home after the game and I was in bed by 5 A.M., so I’m exhausted right now. Time to relax for a night before getting ready for what should be a wild series against Houston.
