After being blanked last night, the Boston Red Sox look to get back on track tonight against the Baltimore Orioles in the middle game of a three-game set at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Orioles television market, you can catch the game on MASN. If you don’t live in either market you’re in luck as the MLB Network will have coverage of the game (outside of Red Sox and Orioles television markets). And if you can’t catch the game on television, you can always listen on the 2014 Red Sox Radio Network.
Brandon Workman makes his fourth start (seventh appearance) of the 2014 season. In his previous six appearances (three starts), Workman has no record with a 3.74 ERA. He allowed one hit in 2/3 of an inning against the Orioles back on April 3 out of the bullpen. He’s made four career appearances against the O’s and has no record with a 0.00 ERA. Two of those appearances have come at Camden Yards.
Chris Tillman takes the hill for the 14th time in 2014. In his previous 13 starts, Tillman is 5-2 with a 5.20 ERA. He’s made two starts against the Red Sox this season and is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA (4 ER/10 IP). He’s made 13 career starts against the Red Sox and is 5-2 with a 2.86 ERA.
