Afternoon Red Sox Delight – 4/27

Josh Beckett (L), Jeremy Guthrie (R)

After losing last night, the Boston Red Sox look to get back to their recent winning ways in the middle game of a three-game set with the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on NESN Plus in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Orioles television market, the game will be broadcast on MASN. And if you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2011 Red Sox Radio Network.

Josh Beckett has looked like his old self as of late as he looks to continue his recent run of success tonight. He’s made four starts so far this season and is 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA. He made two starts against the O’s in 2010 and was 0-1 with a 2.57 ERA (4 ER/14 IP). He’s made 14 career starts against the Orioles in his career and is 6-3 with a 3.53 ERA. 10 of those starts have come at Oriole Park at Camden Yards where he is 5-2 with a 2.94 ERA.

Jeremy Guthrie looks to help the Orioles to their second straight win over the Red Sox. He’s made four starts this season and is 1-3 with a 3.12 ERA. Guthrie faced the Red Sox three times in 2010 and was 0-2 with a 5.71 ERA. He’s made 15 career appearances (14 starts) against the Red Sox and is 1-7 with a 4.94 ERA.
