BOSTON — Two games at Fenway Park in one day? Jacoby Ellsbury of the New York Yankees figures to be in good shape.
Ellsbury is batting a combined .351 (39-for-111) with five home runs and 11 RBIs against the Boston Red Sox’s two starters on Sunday, Rick Porcello and David Price.
Porcello takes the ball for game one of the doubleheader against New York’s CC Sabathia in the afternoon while Price opposes Masahiro Tanaka in the nightcap.
New York (46-42) scored three runs in the 16th inning Saturday to earn a 4-1 win over Boston (50-41) after blowing a 4-3 lead in Friday’s series-opening 5-4 defeat.
