The Red Sox (25-11) look to jump back into a tie for first place with the surging Yankees (26-10) as they wrap-up a heretofore nightmare series in the Bronx tonight (7:05 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market).
About tonight’s game: Eduardo Rodriguez (3-0, 5.29 ERA) was supposed to miss this series entirely but will get the nod against the ageless wonder C.C. Sabathia (2-0, 1.39 ERA). E-Rod has pitched... okay this year, but was bitten by the longball his last time out. Good thing that’s not an issue with this Yankees lineup!
