Friday's Red Sox-Yankees lineups: Young back in LF, Leon catches Buchholz

Share

After a walk-off 7-5 victory Thursday night, thanks to Hanley Ramirez’s three-run homer, the Red Sox look to make it two in a row over the Yankees tonight at Fenway Park.

Right-handed hitting Chris Young gets the start in left field against Yankees right-hander Luis Cessa (4-1, 4.34 ERA). Sandy Leon is behind the plate catching Clay Buchholz (6-10, 5.31), who tries to bounce back from a rough start Sunday against the Blue Jays. 

Young is hitting .300 (10-for-30) with three homers in September. Lefty hitting Andrew Benintendi is likely getting the night off after his first start since returning from the disabled list. 

The first-place Red Sox have a two-game lead over the Jays and Orioles in the A.L. East. The Yankees are three behind Baltimore and Toronto in the wild-card race.
