Mike Cameron Among Few Red Sox Starters With Good Numbers Against Yankees Lefty CC Sabathia

Mike Cameron gets a rare start in right field and looks to continue his success against Yankees right-hander CC Sabathia when the Red Sox meet their rivals in Yankee Stadium on Saturday night.

Cameron is 7-for-18 (.471) with three doubles and two triples against Sabathia. The veteran outfielder will be making his 10th start of the year.

Aside from Cameron and Kevin Youkilis, who is 10-for-24 against Sabathia, the Red Sox will have their work cut out for them if history is any indication.

The top trio of Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez is a combined 7-for-49 (.143) with 19 strikeouts vs. the lefty. David Ortiz, batting fifth, is 9-for-38 (.237) and Jason Varitek is 2-for-19 (.105).

Gonzalez homered for the seventh time in 10 games in Friday night's 5-4 win. He now has six occasions in his career in which he has homered in at least three straight games.

The Yankees, losers of seven of 10, have shuffled things around against Josh Beckett. Jorge Posada originally was batting ninth for the first time in exactly 12 years, but he was scratched roughly 40 minutes before first pitch. Andruw Jones took Posada's place at designated hitter.
