The Red Sox enter Sunday looking to continue their fine form having beaten the Yankees 15-5 on Friday.
However, their dominant win was somewhat undermined after Boston pitcher Tanner Houck suffered a gruesome injury after being struck in the face by a line drive.
While he remained conscious, he did end up in a local hospital and received stitches for the wound.
The Yankees, meanwhile, are looking to get back to winning ways having lost their last two games against the Red Sox and New York Mets.
