Evening Red Sox Delight – 7/29

After watching the bullpen implode last night, the Boston Red Sox will look to recover and get a win tonight at Fenway Park.

The game tonight will start at 7:10 PM EDT and will be televised in the Red Sox television market on NESN. If you live in the A’s television market, you can catch the game on Comcast SportsNet California. 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.

Brad Penny looks to complete 7 innings for the first time this season for Terry Francona. Penny has made 19 starts and is 7-4 with a 4.71 ERA. He hasn’t faced the A’s yet this season and has only faced them once in his career as a member of the Florida Marlins. He picked up the win in that start, as he allowed 1 runs in 7 innings back in 2003.

Rookie Brett Anderson has made 18 starts for Bob Geren this season. He is 5-8 with a 4.32 ERA. He’s faced the Red Sox twice in his career and is 1-1 with a 1.13 ERA. His last time out versus the Red Sox back on July 6th at the Fens, he fired a complete game two-hit shutout.
