The Yankees have a chance to finish the sweep and bury the Red Sox tonight. That sounds pretty good to me! To get it done, they’ll have to win a battle of the left-handers, as Jordan Montgomery squares off against Martín Pérez.
For Montgomery, Monday’s outing represents his fourth start of the season, and his second against Boston. The 27-year-old has pitched to a 5.17 ERA (5.11 FIP) over 15.2 innings, but a bad start against Philadelphia skews that. He had success against the Red Sox in his season opener, limiting their lineup to one run across 5.
