Gerrit Cole's first taste of the rivalry between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox is also an opportunity for him to get into the rarified air of pitchers to win 20 straight decisions.

San Diego at Arizona 9:40 PM ET

Oakland at San Francisco 9:45 PM ET
Gabe Kapler will manage against the Oakland Athletics for the first time in his career when he is introduced to the Bay Bridge rivalry, as his San Francisco Giants host their neighbors to the east in a three-game interleague series on Friday night.
