One player for the Yankees that you should definitely keep an eye on today is Carlos Beltran. Beltran has been ON FIRE as of late. He currently has a nine-game hitting streak, and during that span, he has a .434 batting average. Beltran continued his hot hitting yesterday, when he blooped an RBI single into left field in the third inning to give the Yankees the lead, a lead they would never relinquish. A couple of other players to watch for the Yankees of course, are newcomers Stephen Drew, and Martin Prado. Drew, and Prado both picked up their first hits as Yankees last night, but it was Drew who really shined, hitting a big two-run double to give the Yankees some insurance, to go along with two walks. He also JUST missed a three-run homer in the eighth inning by a couple of feet.

Yoenis Cespedes will be making his second start as a Boston Red Sox. Yesterday, he went 1-4 with a run scored. As we all know, Cespedes is a very dangerous player, and cannot be taken lightly. He is definitely someone you will also want to keep an eye on.
