Yankees, Red Sox Set for Chilly Fenway Park Showdown BOSTON (Interstat) — The New York Yankees look to build on their recent momentum when they face the struggling Boston Red Sox in the second of a three-game series Wednesday night at Fenway Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies with temperatures around 45 degrees. The Yankees (13-9) took the series opener 3-0 on Tuesday and have won four of their last five games. The Red Sox (9-13) have lost five of their last seven. New York will send left-hander Max Fried (2-1) to the mound. Boston’s starter had not been announced as of Tuesday night. A player to watch for the Yankees is left-hander Ryan Weathers, who is coming off a dominant performance in Sunday’s 7-0 win over Kansas City. Weathers pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing five hits and striking out eight. In his last three starts, he has a 1.69 ERA with 25 strikeouts over 21 1/3 innings. For Boston, reliever Aroldis Chapman remains a key late-inning weapon. The veteran left-hander has not allowed an earned run in six of his seven appearances this season, striking out eight over 6 2/3 innings. The Yankees’ offense, which produced 24 runs in a three-game sweep of the Royals over the weekend, will look to continue its surge against a Red Sox pitching staff that has been inconsistent early in the season. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the Yankees are projected to win 6-5. New York is a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5, and the over/under is set at 7.5 runs. Following Wednesday’s contest, the series concludes Thursday before both teams embark on lengthy road trips. The Yankees head to Houston and Texas, while the Red Sox visit Baltimore and Toronto.
