(Sports Network) - A former teammate will try to cool down Alfonso Soriano as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox square off in the rubber match of a three-game set at Fenway Park. Soriano and Ryan Dempster spent the prime years of their careers together on the Chicago Cubs. Now Dempster will be on the mound for Boston as it looks to increase its two-game lead over Tampa Bay for first place in the AL East. You can see all the action on TSN2 beginning at 8pm et/5pm pt. The 36-year old right-hander has taken three consecutive no decisions, although he pitched very well in his last outing. Dempster limited the Blue Jays to just one run on four hits over seven innings of work on Tuesday and the Red Sox went on to win for the sixth time in a row in games he started. Dempster will be in good shape if Boston carries over some of the momentum it built up during the hitting clinic it put on in Saturdays 6-1 victory. Jacoby Ellsbury and David Ortiz led a 14-hit outburst. Ellsbury went 3-for-5 with two RBI and Ortiz belted a solo homer while collecting a pair of hits and scoring twice. John Lackey contributed 6 2/3 effective innings on the mound to help the Red Sox halt a three-game skid that included a 10-3 defeat to their AL East rivals in Fridays series opener. "The guys did great swinging the bats against a guy thats having a great year," said Lackey. Will Middlebrooks went 2-for-3 and is now batting .435 in seven games since being called back up to the majors on Aug. 10. Shane Victorino broke out of a slump by going 2-for-5, but Dustin Pedroia went hitless in five at-bats. The Yankees will send CC Sabathia to the hill to offset Bostons high powered offense. The 6-7 southpaw improved to .500 on the season after he surrendered two earned runs on three hits in six innings of New Yorks 14-7 win over the Angels on Tuesday. "I was just able to pick these guys up today," Sabathia said after the win. "I feel like, throughout the course of the year, I havent been able to make pitches and eliminate some of the errors. So I was able to do that tonight and we got the win." New Yorks offense has been paced by Soriano recently. The seven-time All-Star is 15-for-22 with five home runs over his past five games. He hit a pair of singles in four at-bats without driving in a run in Saturdays loss after tying the MLB record held by Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Jim Bottomley, Tony Lazzeri and Sammy Sosa for the most RBI in a four-game span with 18. Robinson Cano will be looking to bounce back after having an 11-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-4 showing at the plate. Lyle Overbay finished 3-for-4 and scored New Yorks lone run in the loss. Meanwhile, Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki has 3,995 career hits (1,278 in Japan) and will soon join Pete Rose (4,256) and Ty Cobb (4,191) as the only members of the elite 4,000-hit club. The Red Sox have won six of their last eight games at Fenway Park. New York has lost five of its last six away from home and is 29-32 on the road in 2013. Boston is 7-4 against the Yankees this season. Nike Air Force 1 07 Herr . Pirlo limped out of Sundays 1-0 win over Udinese after just 13 minutes.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. ASHBURN, Va. -- To no ones surprise, Josh Norman is sticking to his style, on and off the field.The Washington Redskins cornerback is not about to let the NFLs fines or officials yellow flags deter him from doing what he does, whether its speaking his mind about what he considers bad calls or sticking a hand in an opposing receivers face.As his Redskins (4-3-1) get set to host the Minnesota Vikings (5-3) on Sunday, Norman is sure the league is keeping a particularly close eye on him.Hes also certain hes not going to alter anything because of it.What am I going to change, my aggressiveness? ... For what? No. Its what we do. Weve been doing it since Day 1. Whys it going to change now? Because its aggressive? Hands to the face? So? Im going to come back and Im going to be aggressive in the same way the next time -- and the next time after that, Norman said. Youre going to have to actually physically run through me to beat me. Thats whats going to have to happen. At the end of the day, thats how I play, that style of football.Washington is coming off its bye. In the teams most recent game, a 27-27 tie in London against the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 30, Norman was whistled five times as he was matched up against wideout A.J. Green, including four flags for illegal hands to the face.Afterward, Norman ripped the field judge for poor officiating, a diatribe that prompted a fine of $25,000 from the league that he is appealing.He also was docked $9,115 earlier this season for a bow-and-arrow pantomime that drew a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct after an interception.I enjoy the refs. I love them. They love me. We out there, were playing with each other. They say (my) first name; I call them by theirs. We have fun with each other, Norman said. I dont think thats one of the things thats the problem here.Normman has picked off only one pass since joining the Redskins as a free agent after the Carolina Panthers surprisingly let him leave over the offseason.dddddddddddd He generally has managed to play the same sort of shutdown defense he displayed as an All-Pro a year ago.Norman hasnt always been deployed as a traveling cornerback assigned to the opponents top receiver -- remember Washingtons Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Antonio Brown? -- but there is no doubt he is a major cog in the defense.He cuts off one side of the field for us, defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois said. Thats a plus.And coach Jay Gruden leaves no doubt how he feels about what Norman has done in a Redskins uniform, whether its during plays, between them, or in front of reporters microphones.Ive been very impressed with Josh from the day that he got here, Gruden said Wednesday, referring to Normans work ethic.Then, turning to the rest of what having Norman on the team entails, the coach added:As far as his off-the-field antics or on-the-field penalties that hes gotten, hes a physical football player. Hes in your face and hes very competitive. You dont want to change that about him at all.Game notes WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) missed practice Wednesday, while S Will Blackmon (left thumb) and RT Morgan Moses (left ankle) were limited. ... .
