The Cleveland Guardians (10-5) will travel to take on the Boston Red Sox (9-7) for a four-game MLB series. The opening game will be played on Marathon Monday in Boston with a special morning start time.
The Guardians got off to a hot start this season despite missing some of their key players to long-term injuries. Over the weekend, though, Cleveland ran into a red-hot Yankees side who swept them in the first two games 3-2 and 8-2, then in the Sunday finale the hosts powered out a walk-off win 8-7 in 10 innings.
Over on the Red Sox' side, they're coming off a weekend set versus the Los Angeles Angels. Boston lost 7-0 in game one then came back for a 7-2 victory on Saturday. In the finale, the Red Sox edged out a 5-4 win.
