New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Carlos Rodón vs. Jake Bennett
The Yankees play two today. Let’s start it with a bang?
In a nailbiting 1-0 victory, the New York Yankees claimed the first round of the four-game series against the Boston Red Sox. The win sets up the Yankees well for the remainder of the weekend, as they will face the Red Sox in two more games today. Carlos Rodón, who is currently on a three-win pace, is set to start the day's pitching in the doubleheader.
Despite his solid record, Rodón's control has been spotty recently, leading to only four innings pitched in his last two starts. With 76 pitches thrown in his most recent appearance, this aspect will be crucial to watch in the upcoming games.
Boston seems to have a pattern of using large left-handed pitchers who may not strike many batters out but never allow home runs, and Jake Bennett fits this description. However, the Yankees have struggled to elevate contact against southpaws, and fans should brace for possible repetitions of last night's game. Spencer Jones replaces Spencer Jones in center field, Ali Sánchez takes over behind the plate, and Amed Rosario starts at third base and bats third in the lineup. While these moves may not necessarily be upgrades, they could contribute to a higher scoring game.
To catch all the action, tune into the game at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY, starting at 1:05 pm ET. The broadcast will be available on YES, NESN, MLB Network, and radio networks WFAN 660/101.9 FM, WADO 1280, WEEI 93.7, WCCM 1490 AM (SP), WESX 1230 AM (SP) for the Red Sox.
