After sweeping one NL West team this week, the Boston Red Sox will look to do it again against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the finale of a three-game set at Fenway Park.
Tonight’s game will start at 8:05 p.m. and will be shown nationally on ESPN. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.
Clay Buchholz takes the mound looking for his 10th win in his 14th start of the season. In his previous 13 starts, he is 9-4 with a 2.67 ERA. Buchholz has never faced the Dodgers in his career. This is just the second interleague start for him in his career. His first was his last start against the Arizona Diamondbacks where he picked up the win five days ago.
Hiroki Kuroda has made 13 starts for Joe Torre and the Dodgers this season. In those starts, he is 6-4 with a 3.10 ERA. He’s never faced the Red Sox in his career. Kuroda is 1-5 with a 4.89 ERA in six career interleague starts.
