 Boston (75-34) and New York (68-38) currently have the top two records in baseball. That has previously happened twice, in 1938 and 1978, with the Yankees winning the World Series in both of those seasons.

 The Yankees are just the fourth team all-time to be at least 30 games over .500 through games of August 1, without being in first place, joining the 1954 Yankees, the 1886 Chicago White Stockings and the 1885 New York Giants.

 Since the All-Star break, Boston's 2.38 ERA leads baseball and its 1.13 WHIP ranks second. However, the Red Sox have a 5.73 ERA in nine games against New York this season, their highest against any team.

 In nine games against the Red Sox this season, Giancarlo Stanton is slashing .424/.500/.758 with two home runs, three doubles and seven RBI. Stanton's .330 road batting average this season ranks fourth in the American League among qualified batters.

 Over his last seven starts against the Red Sox, CC Sabathia is 6-0 with a 1.83 ERA, while allowing one run or fewer in five of the seven starts. Sabathia has a 4.84 career ERA at Fenway Park, his highest at any ballpark in which he pitched at least 100 innings.

 In his career, Mookie Betts is batting .429 (12-for-28) against Sabathia, and his 12 hits are tied for his second most against any pitcher. Betts currently sports a .648 slugging percentage this season, which is on pace to be the third highest ever by a Red Sox right-handed batter (Jimmie Foxx - .704 in 1938, Foxx - .694 in 1939).

BOSTON -- It's no secret that the New York Yankees need Luis Severino if they are going to make any real noise down the stretch and into the postseason.
And after a poor four-game run, the young righty remains optimistic as he heads into Friday's second game of a four-game series against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Yankees ace Severino needs bounce-back outing at Red Sox

BOSTON (AP)  After Boston manager Alex Cora was ejected in the first innings, Rick Porcello ensured there was no need for further outbursts.
Porcello pitched a one-hitter, retiring his final 21 batters and striking out a season-high nine in leading the Red Sox over the New York Yankees 4-1 victory Friday night.
