The Red Sox will try to close out the ALDS with a win over the Yankees in the Bronx on Tuesday night. TBS will have the broadcast and first pitch is slated for 8:07 PM ET. Here are your lineups:
RF Mookie Betts
LF Andrew Benintendi
1B Steve Pearce
DH J.D. Martinez
SS Xander Bogaerts
2B Ian Kinsler
3B Eduardo Núñez
CF Jackie Bradley, Jr.
C Christian Vásquez
SP Rick Porcello
Pearce is back at first base with the lefty on the bump for the Yankees. Sandy Leon got the start behind the plate for the first two games of the series. Now Vásquez is getting his second consecutive start.
Yankees
CF Aaron Hicks
RF Aaron Judge
SS Didi Gregorius
DH Giancarlo Stanton
1B Luke Voit
3B Neil Walker
C Gary Sánchez
2B Gleyber Torres
LF Brett Gardner
SP CC Sabathia
Hicks is back in the lineup after sitting for Games 2 and 3. Miguel Andújar is notably absent. He’s 2-for-10 in the postseason thus far. Instead, Walker is drawing the start at third base. We know that’s not based on career matchup stats, as Walker is 1-for-14 with five strikeouts against Porcello in his career.
If the Red Sox can defeat the Yankees tonight, they will punch their ticket to the ALCS for the first time since 2013. The Yankees are hoping to stave off elimination and fight their way back into the ALCS after losing there in seven games to the Astros last year.
