One more injury to a Giants wide receiver and Eli Manning is going to pull a Troy Tulowitzki and pull the plug on his career.
The Red Sox-Yankees series isn’t about Boston catching New York. It’s about the Sox staying alive for a wild card. Pitching has been an issue for the defending champs. Chris Sale, David Price and Rick Porcello have been inconsistent to just plain awful. Newly acquired Andrew Cashner is still pitching like an Oriole. And Nathan Eovaldi has been on the shelf all season. Eduardo Rodriguez, 8-1 in his past 11 starts, 5-1 at Fenway, has evolved into their most reliable starter.
