After Monday, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox do not meet again until the next-to-last weekend of the season. It could be too late for Boston to realistically catch New York by that point. The AL East-leading Yankees look to push the third-place Red Sox eight games behind them and hand Boston ace Jon Lester a fifth straight loss in the afternoon finale of this four-game series in the Bronx. Boston pulled within five games in the division with a 6-3 win in Friday’s series opener before New York bounced back with two wins to push its lead over Tampa Bay to 2 1/2 games. CC Sabathia pitched the Yankees to a 5-2 victory Saturday with eight strong innings and New York batted around in a five-run fifth in Sunday night’s 7-2 win.

New York is 7-4 against Boston, and these teams play their next series beginning Sept. 24 at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox will try to salvage a split behind Lester, who has posted a 4.39 ERA in losing four straight starts for the first time in his career. He gave up four runs over five-plus innings in a 9-1 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday and exited due to a cramp in his left hamstring. The left-hander is 4-1 with a 4.01 ERA in 10 starts against the Yankees, going 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in two this year. Derek Jeter is 10 for 30 against Lester while Nick Swisher, Mark Teixeira and Jorge Posada have all fared poorly. Lester has a 4.11 ERA during the day compared to 2.74 at night.
