It was a great win for the Boston Red Sox yesterday as Kevin Youkilis powered them to a 6-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles in game 2 of a 4-game set.
Today at 1:35 PM, the Red Sox look to continue the momentum they’ve built during the last 3 games. The game will be televised on NESN and you can also catch the game on the radio on one of the many affiliates of the Red Sox Radio Network.
Jon Lester looks to rebound from two disappointing starts (0-2, 9.00 ERA) this season this afternoon. In his career against the Orioles, Lester is 6-0 with a 2.81 ERA in 8 games started.
Koji Uehara makes just his third MLB start for Dave Trembley today. Uehara is 2-0 with a 7.20 ERA on the season.
