After falling last night, the Boston Red Sox look to win the series in the rubber game of a three-game set with the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards this afternoon.
Today’s first pitch is scheduled for 12:35 p.m. and the game will be broadcast in the Red Sox television market on NESN. If you live in the Orioles television market, you can watch the game on MASN. And if you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2011 Red Sox Radio Network.
Andrew Miller looks to put his control issues behind him in his 6th start of the season. In his previous five starts, Miller is 3-1 with a 5.68 ERA. His lone start against the Orioles this season came two starts ago when he allowed three runs in five innings to pick up the win on July 7th. He’s made two career starts against the Orioles and is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA (4 ER/12 IP). He’s never pitched at Camden Yards.
Jake Arrieta goes in search of his 10th win in his 20th start of 2011 for the Orioles. In his previous 19 starts, Arrieta is 9-6 with a 5.10 ERA. In his lone start against the Red Sox in 2011 back on July 7th, he allowed five runs (four earned) in 4.1 innings to take the loss. He’s made two career starts against the Red Sox and is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA (7 ER/9.1 IP).
