Afternoon Red Sox Delight – 5/14/14

After falling in walk-off fashion last night, the Boston Red Sox look for the victory tonight in the second game of a three-game set against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Twins television market, you can catch the game on Fox Sports North. And if you can’t catch the game on television, you can always listen on the 2014 Red Sox Radio Network.

Felix Doubront steps to the bump for the eighth time in 2014. In his previous seven starts, Doubront is 1-3 with a 5.09 ERA. He made one appearance against the Twins in 2013 and had a no decision after allowing six runs in 5.1 innings of work. He’s made two career appearances (one start) against the Twins and has no record with a 9.58 ERA (11 ER/10.1 IP). Tonight marks his first start at Target Field.

Kevin Correia is also making his eighth start of 2014. In his previous seven starts, Correia is 1-4 with a 6.34 ERA. He picked up the win in his lone start of 2013 against the Red Sox when he allowed three runs in 6.1 innings of work at the Fens. He’s made two career appearances (one start) against the visitors and is 1-0 with a 4.26 ERA. He’s never faced the Red Sox at Target Field.
