ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" presented by Capital One heats up during the month of June, with three of the sport's biggest rivalry games coming to the prime-time platform.

Garrett Crochet looks like he is the next great pitcher in the major leagues, and he gets his first taste of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry on Saturday night.

About two hours before his team opened its series against the Yankees on Friday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora was asked to describe the state of the team. Garrett Crochet, who will be on the mound Saturday night when the American League East rivals continue their three-game series in New York, is among the exceptions for the Red Sox.
