BOSTON – After Wednesday night’s third inning, the Yankees had exactly two baserunners and one hit – an infield single.

That’s not usually a winning formula at Fenway Park, where the phrase “no lead is safe’’ has echoed since the Live Ball Era began.

But these Red Sox are having a tough time of it, in this chilly, early New England spring. And these Yankees have already shown a resilient spirit.

Plus, a whole lot of good starting pitching – with more on the way.

Oh, and it’s Cam Schlittler’s turn on Thursday night, with the Boston-area right-hander and burgeoning Yankee star out to complete a three-game sweep of the Olde Towne Team.

Wednesday night saw Max Fried provide “exactly what we need,’’ said the Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton, by tossing eight shutout innings in a 4-1 victory.

It was the Yanks’ fifth straight win and nearly their third straight shutout victory.
