NEW YORK -- The Boston Red Sox are winless in Chris Sale's two starts against the New York Yankees.
It does not mean the Yankees rocked Sale in the previous two meetings at Fenway Park. It just means their pitchers did enough and eventually the offense produced just enough.
Sale will be on the mound Sunday night when the longtime rivals conclude their three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
Sale is 0-1 with a 1.15 ERA in two starts against the Yankees this season and will be trying to help the Red Sox get a season-high 5 1/2-game lead over the Yankees.
