The Boston Red Sox will look to complete a four-game series sweep of the New York Yankees when the two American League East rivals meet for the finale Sunday night at Fenway Park.
Jackie Bradley Jr. will have the night off for Boston, prompting a handful of lineup changes. Mookie Betts will move over to center, while J.D. Martinez gets the start in right field. Steve Pearce returns to take on the designated hitter duties and will bat third.
As for the pitching matchup, David Price gets the ball for the Red Sox in search of his 12th win of the season. The left-hander hasn’t suffered a loss since July 1 when he allowed eight runs on nine hits over just 3 1/3 innings against the Bronx Bombers in New York. Price will be opposed by right-hander Masahiro Tanaka, who is 1-0 with an 8.71 ERA in two starts (10 1/3 total innings) against the Red Sox in 2018. That said, Tanaka hasn’t allowed a run in his last 17 1/3 innings.
