After taking a 2-1 win last night, the Boston Red Sox look to take the series tonight in the finale of a three-game set with the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park in the little Havana section of Miami.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Marlins television market, you can catch the game on Fox Sports Florida. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to it on the Red Sox radio network.
Felix Doubront, the most consistent starter this season for the Red Sox, makes his 13th start of 2012. In his previous 12 starts, Doubront is 6-3 with a 4.34 ERA. This is his first career start against the Marlins, old and new.
Ricky Nolasco is also toeing the rubber for the 13th time in 2012. In his previous 12 starts, Nolasco is 6-4 with a 4.36 ERA. He’s made one career start against the Red Sox and that came in 2009 when he picked up the win after allowing one run in five innings of work.
