The Boston Red Sox swept the New York Yankees last weekend at Fenway Park to help them take sole possession of first place in the A.L. East.
The Red Sox remain in first place as they head to New York for a three-game weekend set (Fri. - Sun.) at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees and Red Sox are heading in opposite directions as of right now. Boston (17-11) has won 10 of their last 13 games, where as the last-place Yankees (9-17) have lost eight of their past 10 games.
New York is already seven games behind Boston in the standings - and three games behind fourth-place Tampa Bay Rays.
Rick Porcello starts Friday for Boston opposite Michael Pineda. Porcello joined Chicago Cubs' Jake Arrieta, Chicago White Sox's Chris Sale and Detroit Tigers' Jordan Zimmerman as the only starting pitchers in MLB to win all five starts in April.
