On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the Sox also started a rookie pitcher, and the club s 7 total rookies in the starting lineup (including pitcher) were their most since 10/3/87, an 8-4 loss vs. MIL. Before Wednesday, the club hadn t won a game when starting as many as 7 rookies since 10/2/80, a 4-1 win over TOR (Source: Elias Sports Bureau). ROOKIE FIGURES: The Red Sox have had 19 different rookies play in a game this season, tied with Arizona for 2nd most in the majors behind only Texas (23)...This is the 4th-highest rookie total in team history and the Sox most since 1926 (21 rookies). RED SOX SEASONS, MOST ROOKIES APPEARING YEAR(S) ROOKIES , The Red Sox have had 8 rookies to go deep in 2014, a new single-season club record...boston previously had 7 rookies homer 3 times: 1952, 1987, and SOX STATUS: The Sox have won 3 of their last 4 games, 4 of their last 6, and 5 of 8...The club has lost 11 of its last 19 games but is (.484) Beginning on 8/25...Since the All-Star break, Boston has a record (.424). The Sox are 19 games under.500 (season high is 21)... They are 24.0 games back in the AL East (season high is 26.5). Boston will finish in last place for the 2nd time in 3 years (also 2012), but were 2013 World Series Champions. SCORING SUMMARY: The Red Sox have scored 629 runs this season for an average of 3.91 runs per game...both of those rank 12th out of the 15 AL teams, up from last place as recently as this past Tuesday...In 4 games since then, Boston has scored an ML-high 34 runs, the club s most in any 4-game stretch this season. The Sox reached double-digits in runs in 3 of those last 4 contests after entering doing so just 5 times in the first 157 games of the year. Boston is (.673) when tallying at least 10 hits, and (.691) when scoring at least 4 runs. LOWDOWN ON LANSDOWNE: Today s game, the last of 3 against the Yankees (1-1 thus far), concludes a seasonending 6-game homestand...the Sox opened the stand winning 2 of 3 against Tampa Bay. The Red Sox, who went (.457) on the road, will finish better away from Fenway Park than at home, where they have won 34 of 80 games (.425) thus far. Boston s 9 walkoffs this year account for 26% of the team s 34 home wins...the club is 1 shy of the AL lead (CLE, LAA, and OAK each have 10 walkoffs). SOX AND YANKS: This is the last of 6 sets between these clubs, the 3rd at Fenway Park...The Sox are 7-11 vs. NYY this season, guaranteed just their 2nd losing campaign against the Yanks in the last 7 years, (2012, 5-13).

NO. 2 AT FENWAY: Derek Jeter enters today with 152 career games at Fenway Park, including regular and postseason...if he plays today, Jeter will pass Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle (152 each) for the most ever by a Yankee.

CHRISTIAN S CANNON: Christian Vazquez has thrown out 15 of 29 attempted base stealers, a 52% success rate... That would be the best single-season mark in club history among catchers with at least 15 games behind the plate. No rookie with at least 50 games behind the plate has ever posted a single-season catcher caught stealing rate this high...the last major leaguer overall to do it was STL s Yadier Molina in 2005 (55%; 17 CCS, 14 SB). UNPRECEDENTED PATIENCE: Boston leads MLB with 4.05 pitches seen per PA, which would be the highest rate for any ML team as far back as data exists (starting 1988)...

PAPI IS BIG: With 35 home runs (T-5th in AL) and 104 RBI (6th in AL), David Ortiz has his 8th season with at least 30 homers and 100 RBI, all since joining the Red Sox in That sets a new franchise record for most career 30-HR/100-RBI seasons, passing Ted Williams, who had 7. Despite having not played since Tuesday, no other AL player this season has driven in a higher percentage of his team s runs than Ortiz (16.5%, 104 of 629), who ranks 2nd in MLB...ATL s Justin Upton leads the majors at 17.9% (102 of 571). YOUNG BOGEY AND BETTS: Boston s 21-year-old rookies Mookie Betts & Xander Bogaerts, have combined to hit.319 (65-for-204) with 36 runs, 20 XBH (13 2B, 3B, 6 HR), and 25 RBI in the team s last 26 games beginning on 8/31. BOGAERTS AND BETTS, AUGUST 31-PRESENT PLAYER AVG H/AB R 2B 3B HR RBI BB Betts / Bogaerts / TOTAL / Between Bogaerts (team-high 142 starts) and Betts (49 starts), the Red Sox have an MLB-high 191 starts this year from players age 21 or younger...that s the most for an AL team since the 2003 Devil Rays (241) and the most for the Red Sox since 1965 (301 starts).
