BOSTON — The Red Sox have been trotting out a rookie-heavy lineup during their recent run of victories, having won four games in a row and six of seven to get back to .500. Facing a tough pitching matchup Sunday, though, they’ll start the game with three of their prized rookies on the bench.

The Red Sox have endured a disappointing first half of the season, but the one bright spot is that they’ve had their bitter rival’s number. The Sox defeated the Yankees, 2-1, in 10 innings Friday night, giving them their third win in four tries against the Bombers this season.

If the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire," these were the words of the Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins ahead of the previous series finale against the Yankees.
