Although they often have an afternoon home game on the <a href="/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)" title="Independence Day (United States)">Fourth of July</a>, the Red Sox remained on the road during the holiday this season. </p><p>The Sox came home to Fenway Park to face the rival <a href="/wiki/2012_New_York_Yankees_season" title="2012 New York Yankees season">Yankees</a> in a four-game series, which included a Saturday doubleheader created to compensate for a rained out Red Sox-Yankees game earlier in the year.
