The Sox are 5-4 thus far on the trip...a win tonight would give them a 2nd straight winning trip (also 5-3, 8/5-13)...Before that last trip, the club had not won any of its previous 6 road trips this season that were longer than 3 games (0-5-1). ROAD RULES: Boston has won 8 of its last 12 road games (.667), including a season-long 5-game road win streak, 8/10-26...Since 6/28, the club is 16-13 (.552) on the road. Boston has 3 more wins this year in 70 road games (32) than 69 home games (29)...The club has a.457 win pct. on the road compared to.420 at home.

KIDS PLAY: On Tuesday night, the pair of 21-year-old Red Sox rookies, Mookie Betts (3-for-5, HR) and Xander Bogaerts (4-for-5, 2B, HR), combined to go 7-for-10, 2B, 2 HR.

Bogaerts became the youngest Red Sox with a 4+ hit game since 21-year-old Glenn Hoffman, 5/3/80 at KC. STILL SLUGGING: David Ortiz ranks 5th in the AL with 30 homers, tied with CHC s Anthony Rizzo for the most among ML left-handed hitters...this is his 8th career 30-HR season, all since joining the Red Sox in 2003, which ties Ted Williams for the franchise record. Ortiz ranks 3rd in the AL with 35 RBI, including an MLB-high 81 RBI since the start of May...He is closing in on his 8th career 30-HR/100-RBI season, which would pass Ted Williams (7) for the franchise record. SOX AND YANKS: Tonight the Red Sox conclude a 3-game series against the Yankees, their last set of the season in the Bronx...Boston has won 4 of its last 7 against the Yanks but has gone 6-9 overall vs. NYY this season. BALLPARK FIGURES: Boston is 28-27 (.509) at the current Yankee Stadium...It is the best record by any visiting AL team since the ballpark opened in 2009. Since joining the Red Sox in 2013, Mike Napoli leads all visiting players with both 6 home runs and 18 RBI at Yankee Stadium. SEEING IS BELIEVING: The Red Sox lead the majors with 4.05 pitches seen per PA (MIN is 2nd at 4.01). Mike Napoli, who tops MLB with 4.48 P/PA this season, is aiming to lead the majors in that category for a 2nd straight year (4.58 in 2013)...He would be the 1st player to lead the majors in P/PA in consecutive years since Bobby Abreu in 2004 (4.32) & 2005 (4.39). DIFFERENCE MAKER: Yoenis Cespedes has driven in a team-high 24 of Boston s 120 runs scored (20%) since his Red Sox debut on 8/2, T-6th most RBI in the AL in that time. Of his 24 RBI for Boston, 10 have given the team a lead...that s the 2nd most go-ahead RBI in MLB since his 8/2 debut, trailing only TB s Evan Longoria (11). Cespedes has the game-winning RBI in 5 of the club s 12 wins since his debut...all 4 of his homers as a Red Sox have given the team a lead. In 30 games for the Red Sox, he has 5 tying or goahead hits in the 7th inning or later, already tied for the team season lead with David Ortiz...He is batting.400 (14-for-35) with RISP since joining the Red Sox. ON THE OFFENSE: The Red Sox have scored 47 runs over their last 10 games (5-5; 4.70 R/G) but rank last in the AL overall with both 536 runs scored and 3.86 runs per game. Boston is 30-17 (.638) when tallying at least 10 hits, and 47-23 (.671) record when scoring at least 4 runs. CLOSE CALLS: Boston has played an AL-high 50 one-run games this year (25-25), 4 shy of the MLB lead (3 teams) and 8 more than the Sox played in all of 2013 (42, 21-21)... Their 25 one-run wins rank 2nd in the AL to Baltimore (28). Boston is on pace for 58 one-run games, 1 shy of the club record of 59 one-run games set in 1961 (32-27). QUALIFYING XANDER: 21-year-old Xander Bogaerts enters today with 504 PA this year...he is the 1st Red Sox player to tally at least 500 PA in a season at age 21 or younger since Tony Conigliaro did it in 1965 (583) and 1966 (628). Since 1920, the only other Red Sox aside from Bogaerts and Conigliaro with 500+ PA in a season at age 21 or younger are Hall of Famers Bobby Doerr (1938-39) and Ted Williams (1939-40). RUSNEY S DAY: Rusney Castillo is playing for Double-A Portland in their semi-fi nal playoff series against the Binghamton Mets...He went 1-for-3 with a run and a stolen base last night in Game 1 in Binghamton, playing 5 innings in CF. In 3 minor league games to begin his U.S. pro debut, including 2 in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League, Castillo is 2-for-8, with a R, RBI, BB, SB. FARM NEWS: Five Red Sox affiliates -- Triple-A Pawtucket, Double-A Portland, High-A Salem, and Rookie-level Gulf Coast and Dominican Summer Leagues -- made it to the playoffs, Boston s most affi liates in the postseason as far back as research is currently available (since at least 1970). Pawtucket and Portland lost their postseason openers last night, while Salem won...the GCL Red Sox won their 1st Gulf Coast League title since 2006. Sox prospects picked up the top pitching honors in the Triple-A International League (RHP Anthony Ranaudo) and Double-A Eastern League (LHP Henry Owens).
