The Yankees had Joba Chamberlain, A.J. Burnett, CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte pitch against the Red Sox during the four-game sweep last weekend in the Bronx, and when the two teams meet next weekend at Fenway Park, the Yankees will have their rotation set up nicely again.
Pettitte, who has a 1.87 ERA in five starts since the All-Star break, will start the series opener against the Red Sox on Aug. 21. He pitched seven scoreless innings in the Yankees' 5-2 win over the Red Sox on Aug. 9.
On Aug. 22, Burnett will start the second game of the series once again. Burnett has lost just once since June 20 and pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings against the Red Sox on Aug. 7, allowing one hit.
The series finale on Sunday night will feature Sabathia, who is 4-1 with a 3.43 since the All-Star break. Sabathia threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings against the Red Sox on Aug. 8, allowing just two hits while striking out nine.
