| (MySportsbook) - Justin Masterson tries to pitch the Boston Red Sox to their 10th straight win and a sweep in their three-game series with the New York Yankees, as the two hated rivals conclude their wild set from Fenway Park.

He had made four relief appearances before that start without recording a decision. The 24-year-old hurler is |

| (MySportsbook) - A terrific pitching matchup is on tap this afternoon at Fenway Park where A.J. Burnett and the New York Yankees play the middle test of their three-game series against Josh Beckett and the Boston Red Sox. Burnett, who was a teammate of Beckett's for five years in Florida, has been superb in his three starts for the Yankees, going 2-0 with a 3.20 ERA. His control probably cost him a win on Sunday against the Cleveland Indians, as he allowed three runs and three hits in 6 1/3 innings of his te |
