The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees will meet Saturday for the second game of their three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
The Red Sox were outclassed Friday night, as the Yankees pounded Eduardo Rodriguez en route to an 8-1 victory over their American League East rivals. But Boston will hand the ball to ace left-hander Chris Sale as it looks to even the series at one game apiece.
Sale will be opposite New York right-hander Sonny Gray, who has underwhelmed thus far in the 2018 season.
As for the lineups, Mitch Moreland will start at first in place of Steve Pearce, who went 2-for-4 in his Red Sox debut Friday. Sandy Leon will start at catcher as Christian Vazquez will begin the game on the bench.
