dp“They’re coming more frequently and a lot of them seem to be like big variety home runs,” said Boston interim manager Chad Tracy, whose team has hit an AL-worst 48 homers. “We know that like one swing, those are the big swings that are game-changers when they happen.”
Will Warren, who is 3-0 with a 2.78 ERA in his past four starts, takes the mound for the Yankees. Warren is 1-2 with a 9.42 ERA in three career starts against the Red Sox.
Ranger Suarez, who is 0-1 with a 3.80 ERA in his past five starts, pitches for Boston. He allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings during a no-decision at Cleveland on Sunday when he also notched 10 strikeouts in a 93-pitch outing.
Suarez also allowed four runs on five hits over 4 2/3 innings and took a 4-1 loss to the Yankees on April 22 in Boston.
