Let’s not have a repeat of last time, shall we? Just last week, the Red Sox took three of four against the Yankees in Boston. The Yankees’ pitching utterly collapsed and surrendered 44 runs over the four-game series. The offense put up 22 runs in the series, but it was obviously nowhere near enough to overcome such lopsided games. The Red Sox are in the Bronx for four games again this weekend, including a doubleheader on Saturday. Let’s break down the matchups:
In a word, Paxton’s last outing was weird. In game two of the last Red Sox series, he went four innings, allowed nine hits and seven runs, including four homers, but he also struck out nine and didn’t walk any hitters.
