Rick Porcello has arguably been one of the best pitchers of the Red Sox rotation. Ending last season on a high note with a 3.14 ERA on his last eight starts, Porcello has kept pitching as the Red Sox expected when they signed him to a four-year $82.5 million. It might be because he has David Price as a mentor again or Christian Vazquez behind the plate, but Porcello tonight showed that there’s no longer reason to worry about him.
The right-hander had held the Yankees scoreless in seven innings while giving up only five hits.
