The Boston Red Sox made history against the rival New York Yankees on Sunday night.

In the series finale against the Yankees, the Red Sox set a franchise record for stolen bases in a single game, taking nine in the 9-3 win.

Five different Red Sox players stole bases Sunday, with shortstop David Hamilton taking the franchise-record ninth base in the eighth inning.

The Red Sox have been one of the best teams in the majors this season when it comes to stealing bases. Boston has collected the fourth-most steals with 78, surpassing the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night.

Jarren Duran (15 stolen bases) and Hamilton (14) have led the way for the Red Sox.

While the Yankees are the top team in the AL East, the Red Sox held their own in the rivalry matchup over the weekend. New York took the first game 8-1, but Boston responded with an 8-4 win on Saturday and took the rubber match Sunday.
