WATCH Red Sox vs. Yankees Online Live Stream, MLB Rivals: Free 2015 Game 1 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The Boston Red Sox take the field against longtime MLB rivals the New York Yankees in Week 18 of the regular season on Tuesday, August 4 at 7:05 p.m. EST at beloved Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Game 1 evening ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

While New York snags a rather high spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings), Boston still lags a bit behind:

Red Sox (25): "The trade deadline came and went without a major Red Sox trade, but as reported by ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes, it wasn't for lack of trying. This week the team will take a different tack in its preparations for 2016, promoting Brian Johnson and Henry Owens for an extended look." Ryan P. Morrison, Inside the 'Zona 

Boston currently has 47 wins and 59 losses and now remains 5th in the American League Eastern Division.

Yankees (7): "While the Yankees stood (mostly) quiet at the deadline, Mark Teixeira has been screaming with the bat, crushing four home runs over the last week. He's been on fire since the All-Star break, carrying the Yanks with seven homers, 13 runs and 12 RBIs. He's quietly having an MVP-caliber season, posting 4.0 WAR for the season through July." Jason Rosenberg, It's About the Money 

With that, New York holds a steady 59-45 winning record and still maintains the impressive 1st spot in the American League Eastern Division.

Tonight's highly-anticipated ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels YES and NESN.
