Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox 8/9

The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Rivalry renewed one more time this season as these two teams kick off a three-game set tonight in Boston. In the first matchup of the series the Yankees will send Luis Severino to the mound looking to take some of that success he had in the bullpen and translate it into success as a MLB starter this season while the Red Sox counter with someone who hasn’t had any trouble having success this season as a starter in Rick Porcello. The game will be played at 7:10 pm ET inside Fenway Park and can be seen on the YES Network locally, MLB Network nationally and MLB TV wherever you are.

The Yankees have two more inside Fenway Park before returning home Friday night for Alex Rodriguez’s last game of his career and before welcoming the Tampa Bay Rays to town.
