-The Yankees do not have a stolen base through their first 10 games, the longest such stretch to begin a season for New York since 1948.
-New York's 31 runs through 10 games is the lowest total to start a season since 1977, when they scored 26 runs in the first 10 (but went on to win the World Series anyway).
-New York has used six rookies so far: Shelley Duncan, Jonathan Albaladejo, Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy, Ross Ohlendorf and Alberto Gonzalez. That's the most in the American League and tied with San Francisco for the most in the majors.
-Robinson Cano has the third-highest batting average at Fenway Park (.359) among all American Leaguers. Derek Jeter has more hits against Boston (217) than any other major leaguer. Jorge Posada has more home runs at Fenway (14) than at any other opposing ballpark.
-Clay Buchholz has never faced the Yankees.
-J.D. Drew batted just .161 against the Yanks last season.
-The Yankees won the season series last year, 10-8, by taking eight of the final 10 meetings.
-Since 2006, nine-inning Yankee-Red Sox games have averaged three hours, 30 minutes -- 41 minutes longer than the major-league average.
