Sox were 1-for-11 with RISP, 11 LOB, 14 Ks. We all know that we have to cut down on the Ks. Even in last night's game where we scored 8 runs, we had 11 Ks. That said, it's typically a good sign when there are a lot of LOBs. It's mind boggling how the team struggled to split the series against the White Sox, then can turn around and win 3 out of 5 (so far) against the 2 best teams in baseball and 3 of the best starting pitchers. Go figure. I don't feel good about tonight's game, but we've already won more in these 6 games than I was expecting to win. Truthfully, I was thinking 1 out of 6. Maybe I have some reverse psychology going on here. LOL

Former Red Sox OF Alex Verdugo relishing return to Boston with YankeesFLM Led by a familiar face in Boston, the New York Yankees will look to post a second consecutive road win over the American League East rival Red Sox on Saturday. In New York's 8-1 Friday win, Alex Verdugo -- who was making his first Fenway Park appearance since being traded by Boston in the offseason -- went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs to pace a 10-hit Yankee attack. Our former players always seem to come back to haunt us. He had the date circled on his calendar. You're breaking my heart, Alex.

Yankees aim to ignite offense in finale vs. Red Sox FLM
The New York Yankees will be looking for more from their offense Sunday night when they visit the Boston Red Sox for the final contest of a three-game series.
After beating the Red Sox 8-1 Friday, the Yankees were held to six hits in an 8-4 loss on Saturday. New York drew six walks but stranded nine runners. The Yankees were 2-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
"We had chances," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "I don't think we had a ton of hits. What, five or six hits? But we had some traffic. Couple chances to get back in the game. Got their starter (Cooper Criswell) out of there in just four innings because we really made him work. Overall I thought we were giving tough at-bats all night. We just couldn't quite break through enough."
Juan Soto is one Yankee who did break through. Soto hit his 18th home run of the season in the seventh inning, but it came with the bases empty.
"Impressive to watch him take an at-bat and the battle that it is," Boone said. "Whether he's 2-0 or 0-2 (in the count) it's just kind of getting underway. It's impressive what he continues to do."
Boston used five pitchers in Saturday's win. Kenley Jansen entered the game in the eighth inning with runners on first and third and recorded a four-out save.
Jansen retired Soto, Aaron Judge and Alex Verdugo in the ninth.
"One pitch at a time," Jansen told Fox Sports after Saturday's game. "Doing this for so long you just have to understand even though we have the pitch clock you gotta find a way to slow this game down and just go one pitch at a time. That's an unbelievable lineup over there. Gotta give them credit, but at the same time I know what's my best pitch and I just gotta go out there and do work."
Sunday's matchup features two right-handed starting pitchers. New York's Marcus Stroman (6-2, 2.82 ERA) will be opposed by Boston's Kutter Crawford (2-6, 3.47).
Crawford seemed to turn a corner in his last start, when he went six innings in a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. He recorded a season-high eight strikeouts and walked one. Two of the four runs the Phillies scored against him were unearned, with the other two coming on solo home runs by Kyle Schwarber.
Crawford had a 5.82 ERA in his six most recent starts leading up to Tuesday's loss.
"Last couple (starts) I thought were trending in the right direction as well, and then (this) was kind of putting all that together," Crawford said following Tuesday's loss. "Obviously, Schwarber got me a couple of times there, but mechanically, pitch shapes, the way I was attacking the zone, felt a lot better."
Crawford has pitched well against the Yankees. He has a 2-1 record with a 1.90 ERA in six games (four starts) against New York. He has 26 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings.
Stroman tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings during Tuesday's 10-1 victory over Kansas City. He's 7-4 with a 3.51 ERA in 16 career appearances (all starts) against the Red Sox.

BOSTON — David Hamilton is back at shortstop for the Red Sox on Sunday after not starting against the left-hander Saturday.
The Yankees and Red Sox play the rubber game of their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. here at Fenway Park. The game will air on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball.
Manager Alex Cora will use big-time speed at the top of the lineup. Jarren Duran, as usual, will hit leadoff. Hamilton will bat second. Rob Refsnyder will bat third.
The Red Sox might have difficulty scoring runs. Boston hitters have not hit well historically against Marcus Stroman, who has posted a 6-2 record and 2.82 ERA in 14 starts in his first season with the Yankees.
Hitters on the Red Sox active roster are just 6-for-42 (.143 batting average) with two extra-base hits (two doubles), four walks and nine strikeouts against Stroman.
That said, the Yankees also might have trouble scoring. Hitters on their active roster have gone only 6-for-46 (.130) with two extra-base hits (double, homer), five walks and 14 strikeouts against Boston starter Kutter Crawford.

Tyler Milliken ⚾️ @tylermilliken_ Bunch of positive Red Sox health updates via @bglobesports :
- After Chris Martin’s rehab outing today, he should join the Red Sox in Toronto.
- Romy Gonzalez is also expected to join the Red Sox in Toronto after playing 3 games on his rehab assignment.
- Wilyer Abreu is set for 2 rehab games with the WooSox starting on Tuesday, which will set him up to return against the Reds on Friday.
Red Sox are getting healthy at the perfect time. Triston Casas is hoping to be back for the Marlins series at the start of July.
Exactly the type of boost this team needs right now.

It took forever but Buster Olney just uttered words I agree with "Most Red Sox fans are disconnected and frustrated"
Bingo.
