Overview

  • First pitch is scheduled for Sunday at 7:10 p.m. ET on ESPN with Garrett Crochet starting for Boston and Will Warren for New York.
  • New York clinched the series with a 5-3 win Saturday behind Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s 3-for-5, one-homer, three-RBI game, and now sits at 83-65 versus Boston’s 81-68 with a 2.5-game wild-card cushion.
  • Crochet enters 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA and an MLB-best 228 strikeouts, and he is 2-0 with a 2.52 ERA in six career appearances against the Yankees.
  • Boston’s offense is 3-for-31 with runners in scoring position over the last three games, a slide that prompted manager Alex Cora to say the team should stop talking about October.
  • Warren is 8-6 with a 4.22 ERA and is 1-1 with an 8.68 ERA in two starts against Boston this season, including an Aug. 23 matchup the Red Sox won behind Crochet’s 11 strikeouts over seven innings.
