Diamondbacks 77-58.570 EASTERN STANDARD: The Red Sox own a 5.5-game lead in the AL East, tied for their largest of the season...they last led by 6.0+ games on 9/30/13...They have been in sole possession of 1st place since the end of play on 8/1. 17 of the Sox remaining 27 games will be played against AL East teams (TB-6, TOR-6, BAL-3, NYY-2). ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The Red Sox are 11-4 in their last 15 road games...at 37-33, they are the only AL East team with a winning record on the road. HANLEY BEING HANLEY: Hanley Ramirez has homered in 3 of his last 4 games and leads the Red Sox with 22 HR this season...in 2016, 14 of Ramirez s 30 HR came in his final 32 games (beginning 8/27/16), tied with Justin Upton for the most homers in MLB in that span. BENNY IN THE BRONX: Andrew Benintendi homered in the 5th inning last night, his 5th HR in the Bronx this season...according to Elias, he broke a 112-year-old single-season record for the most HR by a rookie on the road against the Yankees (previous: George Stone of the STL Browns had 4 HR at Hilltop Park in 1905). Benintendi has also tied the Red Sox single-season record for most HR on the road vs. NYY (also Jim Rice in 1983)...The last player with 6+ HR at NYY in a season was Russell Branyan (6 in 2010). Benintendi hit a pair of 3-run HR on 8/12 at NYY...Elias notes that he is the only rookie ever with 2+ HR and 6+ RBI in a Red Sox-Yankees game...he also became the 1st Red Sox player age 23 or younger to record 6+ RBI vs. NYY since RBI became an official stat in 1920. HAVE WE BENINTRODUCED?: In 27 games since 8/1, Andrew Benintendi has posted a.340/.423/.585 batting line (36-for-106, 7 HR, 5 2B, 20 RBI)...Among AL players with 100+ PA in that time, he ranks 3rd in OBP and 7th in AVG. Benintendi has drawn 59 BB, the most by a Red Sox rookie since Fred Lynn in 1975 (62 BB)...His 19 HR are the most by a BOS rookie since Brian Daubach in 1999 (21 HR); his 74 RBI are the most by a Sox rookie since Nomar Garciaparra (98 in 1997). FEATS OF MOOKIE: Mookie Betts has reached base in each of his last 17 games (15-for-65, 11 BB), tied for the longest streak of the season by a Red Sox player (Benintendi-17). According to FanGraphs, Betts leads MLB at all positions in defensive runs saved (28) and ultimate zone rating (16.4)...He led the majors in DRS in 2016 (32). THIS LAND IS MORELAND: In 27 games since 8/1, Mitch Moreland has hit.325 (26-for-80) with 6 HR and 18 RBI...In his last 16 games, he is batting.372 (16-for-43)...He has 4 HR in his last 10 games.

Sale and Pomeranz have a combined 2.02 career ERA against the Yankees (29 ER/129.1 IP), including a 1.87 mark in the Bronx (12 ER/57.2 IP). HOW THEY DREW IT UP: Drew Pomeranz had a 5.29 ERA through his first 7 starts of 2017, but in 19 starts since 5/20 he is 11-1 with a 2.58 ERA (31 ER/108.0 IP)...In his last 14 starts, he is 8-0 with a 2.31 ERA (21 ER/81.2 IP). Pomeranz ranks T-2nd in the AL with a career-best 14 wins and is 5th in ERA (3.23)...His 8-game win streak is a career best and is the longest by a Red Sox this season...the only other AL pitcher to win 8+ straight decisions this season is Dallas Keuchel (9). CHRISTIAN VALUES: Among 37 catchers with 200+ atbats, Christian Vázquez ranks 3rd in the majors in AVG (.294)...In 20 games since 7/29, he is batting.422 with a 1.128 OPS (27-for-64, 4 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR). SOX & YANKS: The Red Sox have won 5 of their last 7 games against the Yankees, 4 in come-from-behind fashion...bos is 47-46 against NYY under John Farrell (2013-17), including 24-23 at Yankee Stadium. The Sox have scored 36 runs in their last 7 games vs. NYY, after scoring 20 in their first 10 of the season. According to Elias, this is the 1st season since 2004 the Sox have defeated NYY in multiple games in which they trailed after 8 innings (7/14 and 8/13). The final regular season meeting between these clubs is scheduled for tomorrow, 9/3...That would be the earliest the Sox and Yankees wrapped a season series (in a non-strike-shortened season) since 1985 (8/19). DAMAGE CONTROL: The Red Sox have had only 3 losing streaks of 3+ games this season...they are 1 of only 4 teams without a losing streak of 5 or more games.
