Boston pinch-runner Clay Buchholz is out at home as Rangers catcher Taylor Teagarden blocks the plate after catching Michael Young's relay throw in the 9th inning - Rodger Mallison/Dallas Morning News

After a wild and crazy game last night at the Rogers Centre, the Boston Red Sox look to make it 2 in-a-row over the Toronto Blue Jays.

The game tonight will start at 7:07 PM EDT and will be televised in the Red Sox television market on NESN. If you live in the Blue Jays television market, you can catch the game on SportsNet. If you don’t live in either market and want to watch the game, it will be on ESPN tonight. 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.

Clay Buchholz looks for some run support tonight as he’s been a tough-luck loser his last two times out. Buchholz has made 6 starts in 2009 and is 1-3 with a 4.45 ERA. He faced the Blue Jays in his Red Sox 2009 debut and came away with the win after allowing one run in 5 2/3 innings. He’s made 4 appearances (3 starts) in his career against the Jays and is 1-2 with a 3.31 ERA. He’s made 3 career starts at Rogers Centre and is 1-2 with a 2.93 ERA.

Just about everyone thought the Red Sox wouldn’t see Roy Halladay in Jays uniform this season but we were all wrong. He’s made 23 starts this season and is 13-5 with a 2.65 ERA. He’s faced the Red Sox once this season getting the win after allowing one run in a complete game effort. He’s appeared in 38 games (35 starts) in his career against the Red Sox and is 13-12 with a 4.33 ERA. He’s faced them 20 times (17 starts) at Rogers Centre and is 8-4 with a 4.38 ERA.
