Yankees' Thursday night lineup vs Red Sox announced

[ASFN Admin]

The last time they were at Fenway Park, the Yankees swept a three-game mid-week series - April 21-23 - and soon after, Alex Cora was stunningly the ex-Red Sox manager.

Things haven't gone much better in Boston since then.

Under new manager Chad Tracy, the Red Sox are 22-29 and still residing in last place in the AL East as the first-place Yankees arrive to play a four-game set beginning Thursday night.

Boston is scheduled to throw a trio of lefty starters against the Yanks, starting tonight with Connelly Early (6-5, 3.64) going against the dynamic Cam Schlittler (8-3 1.71).

A leading candidate for the AL Cy Young Award at midseason, Schlittler - a New Englander, from nearby Weymouth, Mass. - has already experienced pitching in front of the agitated Fenway fans.

Back on April 23, Schlittler went eight innings and was charged with one run in a 4-2 win.

Here is the Yankees' Thursday night lineup:

1. Paul Goldschmidt, DH
2. Ben Rice, 1B
3. Amed Rosario, 3B
4. Cody Bellinger, CF
5. Jasson Dominguez, RF
6. Anthony Volpe, SS
7. Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2B
8. Jose Caballero, LF
9. Austin Wells, C
