LOCATION:Fenway Park
PITCHING MATCHUP
Jeff Karstens, RHP (0-0, -.--)
Karstens is a likely candidate to be activated in time for this start against the Red Sox. The right-hander, who has been on the disabled list with right elbow tendinitis that developed late in Spring Training, pitched four scoreless innings for Class A Tampa on Monday. Karstens likely would have been New York's fifth starter to open the year and could need one more rehab start, but with the Yankees in need of pitchers, an activation is possible.
vs
Josh Beckett, RHP (3-0, 1.50)
Beckett has started out the season red-hot, winning his first three games. The right-hander has set up his success by commanding his fastball and going more to his offspeed stuff. After allowing 36 homers last year, Beckett has surrendered just one thus far, and it was a solo shot. In his last start, Beckett held the Angels to six hits and a run over six innings while registering five strikeouts. Beckett had mixed results against the Yankees last year, going 2-2 with a whopping 9.45 ERA.

YANKEES HOT BATS TO WATCH OUT FOR
Alex Rodriguez
Rodriguez homered twice to join Mike Schmidt, who hit 12 homers in the first 15 games in 1976, as the fastest to reach a dozen in baseball history. Rodriguez, who has hit safely in all 15 games this year and homered in four straight, also leads the majors with 30 RBIs and 65 total bases. Alex has homered in four straight games and has hit in 20 straight games dating back to last season, matching his career-best.[color=red]He has an extra-base hit in 14 of the 15 games this season. To put this hot streak in some perspective

That was at least a double with that shot down the line. With Manny being Manny, it might have scored Giambi. -Jitpal

Anyone else thought Karstens got squeezed with the 3rd pitch to Lugo. Looked like a strike from here. -Jitpal

Karstens looks wierd. He gets the first 2 strikes. Then he can't get that 3rd one down. -Jitpal
