The Yankees (71-39, 7.5 GA in AL East) go for a four-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox (59-54, 13.5 GB in AL East) on Sunday at 7:05 p.m. at Yankee Stadium.

Yankees notes

With two homers in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader, Gleyber Torres joined just Joe DiMaggio as the only Yankees to deliver five multi-home run games in one season before their 23rd birthday. His five multi-homer games are tied for the league lead, as well... Mike Tauchman added two RBI and is slashing a gaudy .417/.472/.750 over his last 15 games. He'll bat ninth in Sunday's lineup... Mike Ford rejoins the Yankees to replace the injued Edwin Encarnacion, batting seventh and playing first base.
