Good morning and welcome back to the Bronx where the rivalry
is about to be renewed one more time between the New York Yankees and the
Boston Red Sox. In the first of this three-game weekend set between the top two
teams in the American League East Division the Yankees will send CC Sabathia to
the mound to face off with Eduardo Rodriguez for the Red Sox. Let’s get to it
here in the Bronx.
Sabathia has been the loser of his last two starts, both at
the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, despite pitching well enough to win in both of
his starts. In the two starts combined Sabathia allowed just five runs total,
four of them earned, with 14 strikeouts in 13 innings of work. Sabathia will
look to limit the damage against Boston tonight and hopefully will hand the
bullpen a lead.
Rodriguez has been solid as of late with just one blip on
the radar, a tough start against the Seattle Mariners last time out where the
Red Sox lefty allowed five runs in four innings of work. Rodriguez has pitched
to a 2.97 ERA in his past seven starts and will look to build on a strong
outing against the Yankees last time out on May 10th where he hurled
five shutout innings with eight strikeouts.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network locally, NESN behind enemy lines, and on MLB
Network if you are out of the regional market like I am. You can also follow
along with the game on MLB TV, with the MLB At-Bat app and by tuning into the
Yankees radio broadcast on WFAN with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.
Enjoy the game, rivalry renewed, and go Yankees!!
