NEW YORK — Rookie Marcelo Mayer is not in Boston’s lineup Saturday against a left-handed starting pitcher. The Red Sox and Yankees will play the second game of their three-game series at 7:35 p.m. here at Yankee Stadium. It will be aired nationally on FOX.

Roman Anthony had the chance to watch his teammate reach a major milestone on Saturday. Boston Red Sox third baseman Marcelo Mayer, the No. 8 overall prospect according to MLB.com, blasted his first home run in the majors against the New York Yankees on Friday.

Anthony Volpe homered in a five-run first inning, then came out after he was hit by a pitch on the left elbow as the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 9-6 in the AL rivals’ first meeting this year.
