PREGAME NOTES:
- Manny Ramirez was initially penciled in the starting lineup tonight but has now been scratched with a sore knee.
- Yanks have won 6 straight games and 11 of 14. They have also won 10 straight games in which they've scored first.
- Joba Chamberlain is a lifetime 1-0, 3.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP in 4 games (one start) against the Red Sox. He is 1-1, 2.64 ERA, 1.38 WHIP in 9 starts since his move to the rotation.
Josh Beckett is a lifetime 7-3, 5.75 ERA, 1.49 WHIP in 11 starts against the Yanks. He is 5-1, 4.82 ERA, 1.16 WHIP in 7 starts at Fenway this season.
- Red Sock hitters vs. Chamberlain can be viewed here. Yanks' hitters vs. Beckett can be viewed here.
- Hughes to pitch Monday: Pete Abe reports that Phil Hughes will pitch two innings for the GCL Yankees and will soon be activated from the DL and optioned. Cashman reiterates that Hughes has been a target of trade talks by other GMs but insists he's going nowhere.
