The New York Yankees will take on the Boston Red Sox for the first time this season as one of baseball's biggest rivals are set to open a three-game series that will take place at Fenway Park. The Bronx Bombers lead the MLB with the best record, while the Red Sox remain third in the AL East.
The Yankees had suffered a narrow defeat against the Kansas City Royals in their last game. The team failed to maintain their lead and lost with a 4-3 final score. To bounce back from their loss, the Yanks will bring ace Luis Gil to the mound. Gil's string of impressive performances has made him one of the best pitchers in the league.
Despite their patchy 35-34 record, the Red Sox won against one of the best offensive teams. The Red Sox defeated the Philadelphia Phillies with a 9-3 final score to take the series 2-1.
