BOSTON — David Price has faced the New York Yankees plenty of times in his career, but never in a Red Sox uniform.
The left-hander will get to experience the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry for the first time Sunday when he starts for Boston at Fenway Park. Price has quite the act to follow, too, as Saturday’s starter Rick Porcello held the Yankees scoreless over seven innings in the Red Sox’s 8-0 win.
Price has struggled at Fenway so far in the young season, going 1-0 with an 8.62 ERA in three starts, so he’ll certainly be looking to improve upon that Sunday. He might be feeling a little better about his chances, though, as he’ll have the same lineup that scored eight runs Saturday behind him.
Here are the lineups for Sunday.

Mookie Betts, RF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
Xander Bogaerts, SS
David Ortiz, DH
