(Bronx, New York) – The Yankees renew the Red Sox rivalry tonight in the Bronx, opening a three-game series that should bring a bigger-game feel to Yankee Stadium even in early June.
Boston comes in for the first game of the weekend set as both clubs try to sharpen their standing in the American League picture. The Yankees have leaned on power throughout the first half, and rivalry games like this tend to magnify every bullpen move, defensive mistake and late-inning at-bat.
For New York fans, the series is also a reset after a long week of scoreboard watching. A strong weekend against Boston would give the Yankees momentum at home and another chance to remind the division that the road to October still runs through the Bronx.
