The Boston Red Sox battle longtime MLB rivals the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the series on Friday, September 6, 2013 at 7:10 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Friday night baseball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
Heading into the final month of the MLB regular season, Bleacher Report sports columnist Ely Sussman predicts the season outlook MLB power rankings. The Sox head into Game 2 at the no 2 spot - as Sussman points out:
Why They're No. 2
"There's nothing even resembling a landing spot in the Boston Red Sox lineup. Daniel Nava, David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia all have elite on-base skills. Jacoby Ellsbury and Shane Victorino aren't far behind, and they can also wreak havoc on the basepaths (combined 69-of-76 in stolen base attempts). Although often hard-pressed to make contact, Mike Napoli and Jarrod Saltalamacchia always have the potential to go deep. Even rookie infielder Xander Bogaerts is slashing .316/.350/.368. Sitting out the 2012 season has done wonders for right-hander John Lackey (3.19 ERA, 134 K in 155.0 IP). Jake Peavy is already getting acclimated to his new surroundings, and Jon Lester has caught fire at the best possible time. This Red Sox roster isn't necessarily as talented as others we've seen this millennium, but its well-roundedness justifies placement above all other American League contenders."
What to Watch For
"Clay Buchholz was pretty near unbeatable during the early portion of this campaign, posting a 1.71 ERA and 1.02 WHIP en route to winning each of his first nine decisions. Per Mike Scandura of the Boston Globe, it sounds like he's one rehab start away from returning to the starting rotation. In lighter news, Big Papi is closing in on a neat milestone: 2,000 career hits. Only 274 players in MLB history have accomplished that feat."
The Yanks snag the no 16 overall spot (out of 30 teams). According to Sussman:
Why They're No. 16
"CC Sabathia has shown no signs of emerging from his season-long slump, while Derek Jeter is clearly playing at less than 100 percent. Even so, the New York Yankees don't have much of a choice but to use them regularly down the stretch. Ivan Nova and Andy Pettitte both looked incompetent earlier this summer, though lately they've led the Yankees rotation."
What to Watch For
"The elephant in the clubhouse is Robinson Cano's future with the team. He's enjoying another dominant season, so the front office might make an exception to its usual negotiating procedure and attempt to extend his contract prior to the start of free agency."
The Sox currently hold a 85-57 winning record. The Yanks snag 75 wins and 65 losses.
