Now that Alex Rodriguez has finally hit his milestone 600th home run, he and the New York Yankees can turn their focus to a big four-game set when the AL East leaders host the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Rodriguez ended his 12-game drought without a homer by hitting a two-run shot in the first inning of Wednesday’s 5-1 victory over Toronto. The 35-year-old became the youngest player to reach 600, then immediately turned his attention to this series. New York leads Tampa Bay by one-half game and Boston by six in the East. The Yankees are hoping the home run will cause Rodriguez to relax since that’s his only hit in his last 20 at-bats. He’ll try to find the form that has seen him go 11 for 33 with two homers and eight RBIs against Boston this year.

These rivals haven’t met since splitting a two-game set May 17-18 in the Bronx. New York, which has won five of eight in the season series, was without injured regulars Jorge Posada, Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher for those contests. Those players are all available now, while Boston is less healthy. The Red Sox learned Thursday that first baseman Kevin Youkilis will miss the rest of the season with a torn muscle in his right thumb. Dustin Pedroia, Jason Varitek and Mike Cameron were all already on the disabled list. Converted third baseman Mike Lowell, who came off the DL when Youkilis went on it Tuesday, will get most of the starts at first base.
