BOSTON — American League wild-card game Jose Iglesias Jersey , the New York Yankees seek their 100th win of the season in the second game of the final regular-season series against the Boston Red Sox Saturday.Lance Lynn pitches for the Yankees, who haven’t won 100 games since winning the World Series in 2009, against former Yankee Nathan Eovaldi, who has pitched his way into the postseason starting rotation for Boston.The Yankees have hit seven home runs in the last two games to pull into a tie with the 1997 Seattle Mariners for the all-time major league record for home runs — with 264. They have scored 23 runs in the two victories.Article continues below ...They got Didi Gregorius, feared lost for the season after suffering a wrist injury a week ago, back in the lineup Friday night, along with Aaron Hicks, who returned after missing three games in St. Petersburg and hit a three-run homer Friday night.And now the Yankees don’t have to fly cross country to play in a hostile environment, where even a win would lead to turning around and flying right back to Boston.“It’s a huge advantage,” Hicks said on the YES Network after the game. “We’re a great team when we’re playing at home. We’re hard to beat there, so that’s going to be huge for us.”Said manager Aaron Boone: “In a lot of ways we’re built for our ballpark.”Now, on Saturday, in a game that means little except for the chase for No. 100, the Yankees have to deal with Eovaldi. The right-hander has faced his former team twice since joining the Red Sox, throwing 14 shutout innings as part of going 6-7 with a 3.88 ERA this season with Tampa Bay and Boston. He also started a game against the Yankees while pitching for Tampa Bay this season, allowing five runs and eight hits in a loss on June 15.He could be in line for an ALDS start.Over his last two starts, Eovaldi has pitched 11 innings, allowing six hits and one run while striking out 15.Either the Yankees or Oakland A’s will be back at Fenway next Friday, and Eovaldi would be starting on the road in a Game 4 — or perhaps even Game 3.“I haven’t heard anything yet, officially, about what I’ll be doing playoff-wise,” Eovaldi told Sirius XM’s MLB Network Radio. “I (have) the one more start this Saturday. So I’m trying to focus on that one.”Eovaldi Denny McLain Jersey , picked up from the Rays prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, came out of the gate like a rocket with Boston, throwing two straight scoreless starts. He faltered and has come on again.Lynn was picked up by the Yankees from the Twins at the deadline and is 2-2 in nine games, including eight starts, with New York. Overall this season, Lynn is 9-10 with a 4.80 ERA.In his last three outings, he has allowed 13 hits and four earned runs in 16 innings. That followed a poor stretch, where he went 0-2 with a 9.16 ERA in four starts.His success upon arrival allowed the Yankees to move the floundering Sonny Gray to the bullpen.Lynn doesn’t seem to have a starting spot in the postseason and may or may not force his way into the crowded and talented bullpen.Lynn is 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA in five career starts against Boston, and he is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA against the Red Sox this season.Jackie Bradley Jr. is 3-for-5 (.600) with two home runs, Ian Kinsler 4-for-8 (.500), Eduardo Nunez 3-for-6 (.500) and Mookie Betts 4-for-10 (.400) against Lynn, while Xander Bogaerts is just 1-for-14 (.071), Andrew Benintendi 1-for-10 (.100) and J.D. Martinez 3-for-17 (.176).For the Yankees, Andrew McCutchen is 3-for-6 and Gregorius 5-for-14 (.357) with a homer against Eovaldi, while Gleyber Torres is 1-for-8 (.125), Hicks 3-for-13 (.213) and Giancarlo Stanton 2-for-9 (.222).Yankees rookie Miguel Andujar, who started the season in Triple-A, ripped his 44th double of the season Friday night, tying Joe DiMaggio for the franchise’s rookie record. Joe D. did it in 1936 and never had as many as 44 again.It still hasn’t been announced, but Friday night winner J.A. Happ is in line to pitch the wild-card game. However, his career success against the Red Sox could lead to starting either Luis Severino or Masahiro Tanaka in the game against Oakland.The Yankees and A’s split six games this season, both going 2-1 in their own ballpark.Friday night’s win by New York left the Red Sox ahead of the Yankees 9-8 in the season series. PORT ST. LUCIE http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , Fla. (AP) — Former captain David Wright showed up at Mets spring training camp Monday and spoke to reporters before New York’s game against the Washington Nationals, repeatedly referring fondly to “Al and Johnny.”It’s that kind of attitude and personal touch, a sort of chumminess that develops within a clubhouse and organization, that Wright thinks can be essential to a winning team.“Al and Johnny” are Al Leiter and John Franco, former Mets pitchers who were added to the front office two weeks ago in advisory positions.Wright said the topic of close bonds and friendships that are forged during successful seasons was brought up in a morning meeting with them and new general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, who has communicated regularly with Wright about player development in his own new advisory role.“The biggest thing in listening to Al and Johnny, specifically, is it seemed like the years when we put it all together, it was more than just (games),” Wright said, referring to the 2000 and 2015 National League pennant-winning clubs.“If you look at the teams Al and Johnny played on, they probably weren’t the most talented teams, as we weren’t the most talented team in 2015. But what we had was everybody pulling that rope in the same direction.“Guys got to know each other on a personal level and, more importantly, go out there and play well for each other. … You tried extra hard to go out there and win for one another.”The 36-year-old Wright was named special adviser to chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon and Van Wagenen in January. An All-Star third baseman before a string of injuries led to the end of his shortened career last season, Wright added there’s no shortage of potential clubhouse leaders in his absence.New second baseman Robinson Cano, entering his 15th season in the majors, Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom and reacquired reliever Jeurys Familia all fit the role, Wright said.“It just seems like you’ve got leaders all over the field, guys who can get you to that point where you’re talking about the intangibles of a winning season,” Wright said.Dressed in slacks and a polo shirt, Wright discussed his role with the Mets and even joked about his health.“I got a stiff neck on the plane ride here — there’s no way I could play. I can’t even make a plane ride without getting hurt Kirk Gibson Jersey ,” he quipped.HIDEAWAY CAMPOn the smaller stage of Field 7 behind the main field, a marquee mound matchup took place three hours before Familia fired the first pitch against Washington in the afternoon.In front of fans, coaches and plenty of prospects lined up around the field, deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, the two flame-throwers at the top of the Mets’ rotation, faced squads comprised of almost entirely minor league players in outings that approached 100 pitches for both.The reason for the back fields?The Nationals.The Mets open the season with a three-game series beginning a week from Thursday in Washington, facing three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg and free-agent acquisition Patrick Corbin over the course of four days.New York manager Mickey Callaway and his staff chose to avoid having the team’s top two starters face an NL East rival an extra time.“Every place I’ve ever been, you take the approach that we’re taking,” Callaway said. “I think that there’s good that comes from this.”In 6 1/3 innings, deGrom allowed one run and struck out 12. Syndergaard yielded four runs (three earned) and also fanned a dozen in six innings, but prized prospect Andres Gimenez and Wilson Ramos sliced opposite-field homers on consecutive pitches.Callaway said the Mets will come up with a plan for their last two spring starts over the weekend.NOTES: OF Michael Conforto homered in his third consecutive game, driving a ball into the wind and onto the right-field berm against Washington for his fourth home run this spring. Pete Alonso also has four, tying for the team lead. . Rule 5 Draft selection Kyle Dowdy worked around a few baserunners to pitch three scoreless innings in the 6-5 loss to the Nationals. The 26-year-old Dowdy, chosen from the Cleveland Indians, said he wants to stick with the Mets: “Hopefully, it looks good. I truly believe this is a World Series-caliber team. They have great chemistry, and I’d love to be a part of it.” . LHP Luis Avilan, who has a 2.38 ERA in a team-high nine appearances, allowed one run in 1 2/3 innings in his bid to land a bullpen spot.
