There are better ways for a pitcher to get his first taste of Red Sox-Yankees than James Paxton will in Tuesday night’s first of two games between the blood rivals at Yankee Stadium.
“Yankees-Red Sox has been a thing for a long time. I am excited to be part of it. It should be a really intense game. I am going to give it everything I got,’’ Paxton said. “I am sure I will be a little nervous going in, having it be my first experience being part of this rivalry. But all I can do is go out there and enjoy it, bring my best.
