When it comes to Yankees-Red Sox, Luis Gil is putting himself in that category. Gil has been good in the past against Boston. And even amid a season that has been rough so far, the chance to line up against the Red Sox at Fenway Park was apparently exactly what Gil needed.
On Tuesday night, Gil went 6. 1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out two. He now has the lowest ERA ever by any Yankees pitcher in their first six regular season starts against the Red Sox, according to Katie Sharp of Baseball Reference .
In those six starts, Gil is 3-1, including 3-0 at Fenway Park. MORE: Wait, Aaron Judge at third base? His overall ERA against Boston is 0.
