The Red Sox will turn to their lucky charm in Felix Doubront to stop their losing streak Saturday as they take on the New York Yankees in Fenway Park. First pitch is at 4:05 p.m. EST, with FOX handling the broadcast duties.
The Sox are winners of just four games in thirteen, but two of them come in Felix Doubront's two starts. While the lefty hasn't exactly been unhittable in his outings so far, he's done enough to keep the Sox alive, and been supported by the offense in turn.
The Yankees will respond with the man who is perhaps Boston's best opportunity to wake up: Freddy Garcia. If they can't score against him how can they possibly score against Sabathia?
