The Red Sox (76-34), who may finally be done scoring in last night’s game, look to extend their American League East lead to 7.5 games behind Rick Porcello (13-4, 4.03 ERA) tonight against the Yankees (68-39) at Fenway Park (7:10 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-network).
About tonight’s game: Porcello, who has held the Yanks to a 3.65 ERA this year over two starts, gets the nod against Luis Severino (14-4, 2.94 ERA), a onetime Cy Young contender who, while boasting an almost identical 3.56 ERA against the Sox, has also been flailing recently.
