Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Boston: Drew Pomeranz (5-3, 4.24 ERA)<br />
New York: Masahiro Tanaka (5-5, 6.34 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Drew Pomeranz goes for the Red So tonight in the first game of this series and is coming off a great last start where he only gave up one earned run in seven innings in a 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. After losing three in a row with him on the hill Boston has won his last two starts where he has given up three earned runs in 13 innings. Pomeranz has not given up more than two earned runs in any of his last four starts. Pomeranz is 1-1 with an ERA of 2.52 ERA in five appearances, including four starts, in his career against the Yankees. While New York is 5-1 in Pomeranz’s last six starts against a team with a winning record they are only 2-5 in his last seven road starts.
</p>
<p>
Masahiro Tanaka gets the nod for the Yankees and he was not sharp at all in his last start giving up seven earned runs in five innings in a 10-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. He has really been struggling as of late and in the Yankees losing his last four starts he has given up 22 earned runs in 16 innings. Tanaka faced the Red Sox earlier this season and was stellar going for a complete game 3-0 shutout win only giving up three hits. However, since that start he has an ERA of 8.42 in his last six starts. In Tanaka’s career facing the Red Sox he has11 starts and is 6-2 with an ERA of 3.52 and is 3-1 with an ERA of 3.77 in five home starts against them. Overall, the Yankees have won 16 of Tanaka’s last 21 home starts.
