Everson Pereira reached twice, stole two bases and scored twice Tuesday as the Yankees topped the Red Sox 4-1 in the second game of a doubleheader. This was a throwback game, as the Yankees and Red Sox managed to draw a 4-1 game out for 3 hours and 39 minutes. Pereira singled and walked to improve to .152/.253/.197 in 75 plate appearances since being called up. The Yankees might have to back off him just a little bit in the final couple of weeks in order to keep him Rookie of the Year eligible, but that he’s batting ninth for a mediocre offensive team is helping to keep his at-bat total down

Against the current Boston roster, Schmidt owns a .280 OVA, the .225 expected batting average against and an expected slug of .380, which are all positive numbers for the Yankee starter. Meanwhile, the current Yankees’ roster owns a .323 OBA against Houck, as well as a .255 expected batting average and a .362 expected slug. Note that the NY Yankees are 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games on the road
