The Boston Red Sox's initial visit to the new Yankee Stadium will be a two-game series, and they'll be looking to extend their winning streak against their arch rivals to five after sweeping the Yankees last month in Boston.

Still playing without Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees appear to have solved some of their early problems, scoring 36 runs during a four-game winning streak before losing 8-4 to Los Angeles on Saturday. The finale of the four-game series Sunday was postponed due to rain.

Phil Hughes was set to start that game, and will open the series against the Red Sox instead.

Hughes struggled against the Red Sox, allowing seven runs in two-plus innings of New York's 8-5 loss at Fenway Park on April 13, 2008.

Opposing Hughes will be Jon Lester, who was 2-0 with a 1.19 ERA in three starts versus the Yankees last season, including a shutout. Get all your MLB baseball odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
