Yankees vs Red Sox MLB Live Stream Reddit for Series Opener
By Sean Facey
The New York Yankees (66-35) and the Boston Red Sox (56-47) are set to open up a pivotal four-game series at Fenway Park. The Red Sox will look to prove that they can hang with one of the league's best teams. On the opposite side of things, the Yankees will try to push the rival Red Sox, who are 11 games back in the AL East, out of contention.
How to Live Stream the Game
The rivarly begins again at 7:10 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on YES Network and NESN. Additional streams of the game can be found on both fuboTV and Reddit's MLB Streams subreddit.
Yankees Lineup
The Bronx Bombers are fresh off of a three-game, 30-run offensive barrage of the Twins and will look to carry that momentum into the series against the Red Sox. They've scored six or more runs in five of their last six games, and will pose a major challenge for Boston's struggling pitching staff even without the injured Gary Sanchez in the lineup. He is replaced by Kyle Higashioka.
DJ LeMahieu will get things going for the Yankees, followed by Aaron Judge and Wednesday night's hero, Aaron Hicks. Hicks hit a go-ahead two-run shot late in the game against the Twins and capped it all off with a diving catch to end the game.
Masahiro Tanaka (7-5, 4.00 ERA) gets the start for New York. He's coming off of a sub-par outing against the Rockies in which he allowed seven hits and five earned runs in six innings.
Red Sox Lineup
Boston's future rides on their performance in this series as they enter play desperate to determine whether they should be buyers or sellers at the deadline. The offense outside of rising star Rafael Devers has been spotty at best. They managed just two runs against the Rays on Tuesday and almost got no-hit on Sunday in Baltimore after putting up 17 runs against the Orioles the day before.
Mookie Betts is in the leadoff spot, as usual, followed by Devers and Xander Bogaerts, two of baseball's hottest hitters. J.D. Martinez hits cleanup, looking to extend his streak of multi-hit games to four.
Rick Porcello (8-7, 5.61 ERA) has been tabbed to start for the Red Sox. He's on an incredible cold streak, entering play with a 7.12 ERA over his last seven starts.
