The last time the New York Yankees saw Walker Buehler, he closed the World Series in match 5 for the Los Angeles Dodgers and celebrated on the field.
Friday, the Yankees will see Buehler in a new uniform. Now, with the Red Sox, the right -hander enters the rivalry of the enemies of the American League East when Boston begins his season series in New York.
The Yankees head to their first of the six meetings with Boston in the following two weekends on a race of 19-7 since their decrease from three to May 3 to 5.
New York won a series for the eighth time in nine trials when he won a 4-0 victory against Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. Max Fried gave a safe hit in six rounds and Cody Bellinger increased its average to 0.317 (33 per 104) during its last 27 games by hitting a two -point circuit and adding a simple RBI.
Buehler (4-3, 4.44 ERA) returned from his second Tommy John surgery to help the Dodgers win the championship last year, then signed a one year free agreement with the Red Sox in December.
He started and launched five rounds in match 3 of the World Series to put the Dodgers at three games in any, then obtained two stick withdraws in a ninth round of 1-2-3 in match 5, winning a 7-6 victory after the Yankees blew a five-point lead.
Buehler enters his first regular season outing against Yankees 0-2 with an MPM of 4.85 in his last three departures. During his last outing, Buehler granted five points on a summit of 10 strokes in 5 2/3 rounds during a 5-0 defeat in Atlanta on Saturday.
The new Buehler team is not as dominant as the Dodgers. The Red Sox finds it difficult to win tight matches because they are 6-17 in games at a race.
“Obviously, I was difficult for them,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone on Thursday afternoon. “Many tight matches they were on the wrong side. We really considered them in training in the spring and even at the start of the season as a really talented team and we know what they are capable of and feel that it can always be a reality for them.
“We feel like a very good hungry club
Boston has a 3-8 file in his last 11 games since Rafael Devers had the end of the match in the 10th round to beat the Baltimore Orioles when opening a double-head on May 24. Since then, the Red Sox has lost their five games in one blow, including a pair against the Angels of Los Angeles to visit this week.
Boston avoided another tight defeat on Wednesday when Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-round Homer at 308 feet on the right field line to win a 11-9 victory. Rafaela dominated in three consecutive games.
“I’m really proud of this team for keeping it,” said Jarren Duran, Boston man. “We could have easily descended on ourselves after taking the lead, abandon it, take the lead, abandon it. But as a team, we got together and we succeeded in a W.”
Devers struck a single match in the eighth round while the Red Sox were 6-in-14 with runners in the score position and finished with 12 strokes. Boston has achieved at least 10 strokes in every match in the Angels series despite the loss of twice.
Will Warren from New York (3-3, 5.19 ERA) will have his first taste of rivalry while he tries to bounce back after the most difficult start of his career. After granting two or less points in four consecutive outings, Warren was bombed for seven points on six strokes in 1 1/3 of sleeves during a defeat of 18-2 against the Dodgers on Saturday.
