HUDSON VALLEY, NY —Metro-North is adding "Yankee Clipper" trains for Yankees fans headed to and from the upcoming series with Boston (Red Sox fans should probably just check with the concierge at the motel about a taxi or "cah" service to the game).

Metro-North Railroad announced that it will be helping fans experience Aaron Judge's historic season this Thursday through Sunday, as one of the longest standing rivalries in sports returns to Yankee Stadium. The railroad said it is adding service to make sure fans can cheer on the Bronx Bombers as they take on the Boston Red Sox with games at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, 7:05 p.m. on Friday, 1:05 p.m. on Saturday, and 7:08 p.m. on Sunday.

The extra trains will run on the Hudson, Harlem and New Haven Lines, and regularly scheduled Hudson Line trains will make extra stops at Yankees-E 153rd St.
