Afternoon Red Sox Delight – 5/24

The Boston Red Sox will look to salvage their series with the New York Mets after a tough late inning loss last night.

The game this afternoon will start at 1:35 PM EDT and will be televised in the Red Sox television market on NESN. If you live in the Mets television market, you can catch the game on WPIX. If you don’t live in either team’s television market, you’re in luck. The game will also be broadcast nationally on TBS. And if the television isn’t your cup of tea, you can catch the game on one of the many affiliates of the Red Sox Radio Network.

Tim Wakefield will look to keep the momentum going from his last out where he shutdown the Toronto Blue Jays for 8 innings. On the season, Wakefield is 5-2 with a 3.59 ERA in 8 games. In his career against  the Mets, Wake is 2-3 with a 2.43 ERA in 7 games (6 starts).

Tim Redding will look to give his team the sweep this afternoon. He has made two career starts against the Red Sox, both of which have come at Fenway Park. His record in those  two starts is 0-2 with a 12.71 ERA.
