One thing Yankees-Red Sox series always bring is entertainment. And that’s exactly what tonight’s game featured.

The verdict:
Certainly looks like pine tar to me. Whether it was to help grip the ball or not, looks like he globbed a healthy helping of it on there.
It’s not cheating if you don’t get caught. But Pineda did.
