UPDATE: David Price scratched from the start with numbness in his left hand. Rick Porcello will start in his place tonight in the Bronx.
Good morning Yankees family and welcome back to arguably the
greatest rivalry in all of the four North American sports as the New York
Yankees and the Boston Red Sox continue to face off head-to-head this week in
the Bronx. Last night the Yankees brought their ace with them to town against
the Red Sox and tonight they bring another talented pitcher with them in
Masahiro Tanaka. The Red Sox will counter with a familiar foe for New York in
David Price. Let’s get to it here in the Bronx.
Tanaka has pitched the Yankees to victory in each of his
last three starts after a rough stretch against the Miami Marlins and these
Boston Red Sox. In Tanaka’s last start against the Houston Astros the Yankees
right-hander allowed just three runs in six innings of work.
Price on the other hand heads into this start fresh off the
worst start of his young season after allowing nine runs, seven of them earned,
in just 3.2 innings pitched against the Texas Rangers. In Price’s last five
starts the Red Sox left-hander is 1-4 with an 8.22 ERA. Ouchies.
The game will be played 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium and
can be seen on the YES Network, NESN and Boston East, aka ESPN. 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 the legendary John Sterling and
Suzyn Waldman.
Enjoy the game, David you aren’t in Tampa anymore, and go
Yankees!!
