New York has stuck around just out of the playoff picture all season but is quickly running out of time to make its move. The Bronx Bombers will head into the hostile atmosphere of Fenway Park on Tuesday to begin a series with the team they are currently pursuing in the standings.
- David Ortiz has 3 home runs in 5 plate appearances against Yankees’ starter Luis Severino.
- The Yankees are 0-8 in their last eight games with Luis Severino as the starting pitcher.
- The Red Sox are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games against the American League.
The Red Sox will put their faith in starter Rick Porcello tonight in search of their 12th straight win in games the righty has started at Fenway this season. The Morristown, New Jersey native is 14-3 on the season with a 3.46 ERA and went undefeated in the month of July. In two games vs the Yankees this year, Porcello is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA and has limited the Yankee bats to a .220 batting average.
Luis Severino (1-6, 6.02 ERA) was touted as one of the best pitching prospects in the league a year ago but has had significant trouble getting it together in the big leagues. The Dominican has been good since he took over the long relief role in the Yanks’ bullpen and has been tossed back into a weak Yankees’ starting rotation.
