After coming back for a 9-4 win last night, the Boston Red Sox host the Oakland Athletics in game two of a three-game set at Fenway Park.

Tonight’s game will start at 7:10 p.m. and will be shown on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the A’s television market, you can catch the game on CSN California. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Daisuke Matsuzaka takes the mound for Terry Francona and the Red Sox tonight and only God knows which Dice-K will show up. Dice-K has made six starts this season and is 3-2 with a 5.77 ERA. After almost throwing a no-hitter against the Phillies, he came back with an eight walk start. He made one start against the A’s in 2009 and took a no decision after allowing five first inning runs. He’s made five career starts against them and is 201 with a 4.21 ERA. He’s made one career start in 2008 against the A’s at the Fens and picked up the win after allowing two runs in eight innings.

Ben Sheets started off slow for the A’s but has been a much better pitcher as of late. In his 11 starts this season with his new club, he is 2-3 with a 4.91 ERA. Sheets will be making his first career start against the Red  Sox and at Fenway Park.
