The Boston Red Sox could not solve Cam Schlittler on Friday night. Their reward is a Saturday date with two of the New New York Yankees' top pitchers.
New York will activate Max Fried from the injured list to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. Carlos Rodón will start the opener against Red Sox left-hander Connelly Early.
Fried's return comes exactly 15 days after the Yankees placed him on the injured list, allowing him to return following a minimum-length absence. The timing presents another difficult test for Boston's struggling lineup.
The Red Sox entered Saturday after being shut out in consecutive games. They dropped Friday's series opener 1-0 despite recording five hits and drawing six walks against New York's pitching staff. Boston went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners. The loss extended its scoreless streak to 18 innings.
