The Boston Red Sox took on the New York Yankees on Sunday night at Fenway Park, and Alex Cora's team did something that no Red Sox team had done in over 80 years.

On Sunday, Boston stole nine bases against the Yankees, which broke the franchise record for stolen bases in a game. The previous record of eight in a game happened twice in two games against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1913 and 1940.

The Red Sox got stolen bases from Dominic Smith, Bobby Dalbec, Jarren Duran (two), David Hamilton (four) and Ceddane Rafaela.

Boston used their athleticism to take extra bases all night, leading to a five-run lead in the eighth inning.
