For the first time in what seems like an eternity, the Red Sox (70-52) will face the still-dumb Yankees (66-56) on Sunday afternoon — not Sunday night — at Fenway Park (1:30 p.m., NESN, TBS). It’ll be reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello (4.59 ERA) against newly acquired Sonny Gray (3.37 ERA). Eduardo Nunez sits, with Brock Holt \o/ taking his spot batting leadoff and playing second, but that’s really all, except wonderboy Rafael Devers has moved back to the fifth spot in the batting order, because he’s great.
