The Yankees pitching staff has been doing very good, but during this week’s games the Red Sox will be seeing Chien Ming Wang starting for the second time since he was sent to the DL with a 34.0 ERA in six innings. In Wang’s first game back against the AL West-leading Texas Rangers he gave up seven hits and five runs in four and two thirds innings. with one home run, one walk and five strikeouts. He will get the second start of the Red Sox series when he goes up against Tim Wakefield. In the first game of the series on Tuesday, former Florida Marlins teammates Josh Beckett and AJ Burnett will face off. They faced off against each other Saturday, April 25, a game the Red Sox went on to win 16-11. Neither starter was great, and both were gone by the fifth inning. Attendees with Yankees Red Sox tickets are hoping that at least one of these elite pitchers will be able to go deeper.
The final game of the Red Sox Yankees series sees Brad Penny face CC Sabathia. Penny if the Sox’s fifth starter, whose name continues to be raised in trade talks, while Sabathia is the Yankees ace and was giving one of the largest contracts in history during the off season. On paper it seems the Yankees should be favored, however we all know that anything can happen during a baseball game. Penny, a former MLB All-Star Game starter has been very good this year and is definitely capable of holding down a hot-hitting Yankees team. All in all this is going to be a very fun week for baseball, so be sure to pick up your Red Sox Yankees tickets to see these teams face off.
