The Red Sox and Yankees will play the second game of their three-game series at 7:35 p.m. here at Yankee Stadium. It will be aired nationally on FOX.
Lefty Garrett Crochet (5-4, 1.98 ERA) will start for Boston opposite left-hander Ryan Yarbrough (3-0, 2.83 ERA).
Mayer, a left-handed hitter, belted his first big league home run here Friday, a 410-foot blast to right-center field. He’s 1-for-6 with three strikeouts against lefties since Boston promoted him May 24. He has started just one game against a lefty, his MLB debut.

Kristian Campbell is back in the lineup at second base after not starting Friday.
