We’re back on somewhat of a regular schedule after taking a day for some personal commitments. After falling to the Baltimore Orioles 6-1 on Saturday afternoon, the Boston Red Sox look to clinch the Mayor’s Cup in front of the “hometown” fans at City of Palms Park this afternoon.
The Red Sox currently lead the Mayor’s Cup 3-2 with just two games remaining, including today.
The game today will begin at 1:05 p.m. and will be shown in the Red Sox television market on NESN. The game will also be available on the MLB Network. If you can’t watch the game on television, it will be broadcast on WEEI 850 AM. It is also available on MLB.com if you have the MLB.tv or Gameday Audio package. You can also catch it on the MLB At Bat app for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
After being named to the No. 5 spot in the Red Sox rotation, Clay Buchholz will get the ball today. He’ll be followed by Scott Atchison, Ramon Ramirez, Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon. Carl Pavano will start for the Twins. He’ll be followed by Clay Condrey, Pat Neshek, Jose Mijares and Kyle Waldrop.
