AL East rivals New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox clash anew to begin a fresh three-game series starting Friday at Fenway Park.
The Yankees (42-25) will attempt to tighten their grip on the No.1 spot in the American League East, where they have a commanding 4.5 game lead on the closest trailer, the Toronto Blue Jays (38-30). After losing the last two games of their previous series with the Red Sox, New York bounced back by winning all three games in their series against the Kansas City Royals. The Yankees showcased their elite offense in the first two games before putting on a pitching masterclass in 1-0 win in Thursday’s series finale.
The Red Sox have won 4 of their last 5 games, including two against the Yankees early this week. Boston is 34-36 this season, but they still have plenty of time to spring back to contention in their division, especially if they can sustain their winning ways.
