The Boston Red Sox now are 13-3 in the month of August after taking two of three from the New York Yankees this weekend at Fenway Park.
Boston holds a five-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East and will head to Cleveland for a huge four-game series with the Indians starting Monday.
Eduardo Rodriguez will get the start in Game 1 of the series, as he was moved ahead of Doug Fister in order to put a left-hander in between Fister and Rick Porcello, who got the win Sunday.
Rodriguez slowly has been finding his form since injuring his knee June 1 against the Baltimore Orioles, and the young lefty will look to get the Red Sox off on the right foot in their series with the AL Central-leading Indians.
