New York manager Aaron Boone had this to say about his teams opening of their four game series against American League East rival Boston!
You kind of feel a little cooler weather -- it felt like a warm September or October night,”We haven’t been back here in a while, and to come in here with [the Red Sox] playing better, it’s always fun.”
Gerrit Cole had this to say about his start about facing, opposing Rafael Devers!
I’m open for suggestions; you guys are all watching the game too,” Cole said. “He has the ability to ride a ball out at the bottom of the zone, has the ability to catch up to my fastball. He’s proven that. … It’s pretty wild. There just hasn’t been a mishit. Roll over one time. Line out one time. You’re supposed to fail seven out of 10 times in this gig. I don’t know what the deal is.”
Josh Donaldson had this to say about the atmosphere at Fenway Park!
It was a great, great atmosphere,”This is what baseball is about right here; two really good teams going against each other, playing hard. I’m glad for us that we were able to win today.”

Though, could mother nature get in the way of Nestor Cortes, Connor Seabold’s starts?
I would say there is a small chance of that happening as there is an 18% chance of rain at first pitch, 13% chance at 8:00pm- 9:00pm , 13% chance at 10:00pm when the game is supposed to be over.
