The Yankees and Red Sox close out another series as CC Sabathia (2-2) meets up with Felix Doubront (1-2) on Thursday in Fenway. Sabathia struggled through his first three outings of the season, allowing 6, 4, and 4 runs, but he buckled down in his last start by giving up a lone run to the Rays through 7 innings. Sabathia looks to compile a second quality start as he's lowered his opening day ERA from 9.00 to where it currently stands at 5.19.

The big lefty has made one start against Boston already this season, getting the loss on April 11th after surrendering 4 runs in 7 innings in a 2-4 Yankee loss. Jonny Gomes led off the 6th with a solo HR and Grady Sizemore hit a 3-run shot to account for all the Red Sox scoring. Sabathia went 2-2 against the Sox a year ago in 5 starts, getting rocked for 18 runs in 16.1 IP his last 3 appearances of the year versus the team.

Doubront enters his fifth year with Boston without a win since his first start of the year. Doubront's worst outing of the season was without a doubt his 2nd start against Texas where the Rangers knocked him out in 2.2 innings by scoring 5 runs and pushing his ERA to 9.00. The left-hander, who has posted back-to-back 11 win seasons, has gotten better lately allowing 3 and 2 runs his last two starts.

Doubront made 4 starts against New York in 2013, posting a 2-1 record. He couldn't get out of the 4th in his last two appearances against the Yankees last season, allowing a combined 12 runs in 7.2 innings. The new Yankee Carlos Beltran has gone 3 for 4 with a HR against Doubront and Alfonso Soriano is 3 for 8 with 2 HR.
