Josh Beckett (L), Fausto Carmona (R)

After the bullpen blew the game last night, the Boston Red Sox are back at it tonight in game two of a three-game set with the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field.

Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m. and will be televised in the Red Sox television market on NESN. If you live in the Indians television market, you can catch the game on STO. And if you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2011 Red Sox Radio Network.

Josh Beckett returns to the bump after having to leave early due to neck tightness his last time out. Beckett has made nine starts in 2011 and is 3-1 with a 1.73 ERA. He’s faced the Indians once this year, taking the loss after allowing three runs in five innings back on 4/5. He’s made eight career starts against the Indians and is 3-5 with a 5.55 ERA. He’s winless in three starts at Progressive Field as he is 0-3 with a 6.48 ERA.

Fausto Carmona looks to keep the “Windians” train rolling tonight for skipper Manny Acta. He’s made 10 starts this season and is 3-4 with a 4.76 ERA. He’s made one start against the Red Sox in 2011, picking up the win after seven shutout innings back on 4/7. He’s made eight appearances (six starts) in his career against the Red Sox and is 2-3 with a 3.44 ERA.
