The Red Sox look to halt their losing streak at seven Monday night against the Yankees.
Boston wraps up its four-game series against New York at Yankee Stadium with Martín Pérez on the mound. The left-hander is coming off a strong start against the Tampa Bay Rays when he pitched 5 2/3 innings and gave up two earned runs with five strikeouts.
Ron Roenicke made a few changes to Monday’s lineup. Christian Vazquez is back behind the plate and will bat fifth, while José Peraza takes over in left field and bats eighth, meaning Alex Verdugo slides over to right.
Jordan Montgomery toes the rubber for New York.
