One of the MLB’s oldest rivalries will be reignited one last time this season as the Boston Red Sox head to the Bronx to face the Yankees.
The Red Sox vs. Yankees series begins tonight, Aug. 28, on Apple TV’s Friday Night Baseball.
Last time these teams met, the Yankees lost four straight at Fenway Park. Now, they’ll play a four-game series including a Saturday doubleheader with a make-up game from June.
The Yankees are coming off a series with the Houston Astros, where they won just one of three games. Last weekend, the Red Sox swept the Giants in a three-game series and took two of three against Miami.
Tonight’s Friday Night Baseball is exclusively streaming on Apple TV, but fear not: It’s easy to subscribe and tune in — and completely free, if you’re a new user.
