Yankees/Red Sox sure to produce fireworks!
Happy 4th of July to all! The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will square off today in the second of a four game series, and will surely produce fireworks at the stadium.
Josh Beckett, 7-5 with a 3.65 ERA, will face Darrell Rasner who is 4-6 with an ERA of 4.92. Rasner has lost his last two starts and 6 of his last 7. He has never faced Boston in his career. He is 3-1 at home this season. Beckett is coming off a 7 inning no-decision against Houston, where he had been back and forth. 2-1 in his last five starts, Beckett has shut down potential. And we all know his past World Series history against the Yankees. In his career, Beckett is 6-3 against the Yankees.
Boston comes into the game 51-37, 3 full games behind Tampa Bay. The Yankees are 45-41, 8 full games back of Tampa Bay.
The Yankees need Rasner to throw well, and the bats to come alive! Go Yankees!
