After winning yesterday, the Boston Red Sox look to do it again tonight in the third game of a four-game set with the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN. You can also catch the game online or your mobile device/tablet on WatchESPN. And if you can’t catch the game on television, you can always listen on the 2014 Red Sox Radio Network.
The Red Sox will honor the heroes as well as the victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. You can watch the ceremony live on MLB.com beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Jake Peavy makes his fourth start of 2014 and third at the Fens. In his previous three starts, Peavy has no record with a 1.93 ERA (4 ER/18.2 IP). He picked up a no decision in his lone start of 2013 against the O’s after allowing three runs in seven innings of work which was only his lone Fenway Park start against them. He’s 2-0 with a 3.15 ERA (7 ER/20 IP) in three career starts against them.
Ubaldo Jimenez toes the slab for the fourth time this season. In his previous three starts, Jimenez is 0-3 with a 7.31 ERA (13 ER/16 IP). He took the loss in his first start as a member of the O’s against the Red Sox on April 2 when he allowed four runs in six innings of work. He’s made five career starts against the home team and is 1-3 with a 10.27 ERA (27 ER/23.2 IP). He took a loss in his lone Fenway start after allowing seven earned runs in 4.1 innings as a member of the Cleveland Indians.
