Game 63: Red Sox at Yankees lineups and preview

It’s always fun when the Red Sox and Yankees get together.

Willson Contreras and Andruw Monasterio hit home runs as the Sox downed the Yankees, 5-3, in Friday’s series opener.

Willson Contreras drove in three runs Friday, is hitting .417 (25-for-60) during a 17-game on-base streak, and has homered in consecutive games for the second time this season. His homer also marked the 10th time this season the Red Sox hit multiple homers and first time since hitting three against Atlanta on May 26.

“They’re coming more frequently and a lot of them seem to be like big variety home runs,” said Boston interim manager Chad Tracy, whose team has hit an AL-worst 48 homers. “We know that like one swing, those are the big swings that are game-changers when they happen.”

Will Warren, who is 3-0 with a 2.78 ERA in his past four starts, takes the mound for the Yankees. Warren is 1-2 with a 9.42 ERA in three career starts against the Red Sox.
