The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will meet Sunday night for the third of a four-game set at Fenway Park.
It will be a battle of right-handers in the primetime clash, as Rick Porcello is set to square off against Masahiro Tanaka. The Yankees starter was shellacked in his last outing against the Red Sox, allowing 12 earned runs over 3 1/3 innings. Porcello was similarly lousy in his last start against the Bronx Bombers, giving six earned runs over 1/3 of an inning in late June when the division rivals battled in London.
Boston will welcome back Jackie Bradley Jr., who sat out Saturday’s 6-1 loss. Sandy Leon is set to do the catching for Porcello in his first action since Aug. 31.
