The Boston Red Sox will look to rebound from last night’s loss with a win in game two of a four-game set against the Texas Rangers 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. The game will be broadcast on TXA 21 in the Rangers television market. If you’re lucky enough to live in the Rays or Yankees television markets, you can catch the game on the MLB Network. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.
Felix Doubront will make his third spot start of 2010 for the Red Sox. In his previous two starts, he is 1-1 with a 4.22 ERA. He’s never faced the Rangers in his career.
Back in the US for the 2010 season, Colby Lewis is making his 18th start of the season. In his previous 17 starts, he is 8-5 with a 3.33 ERA. He’s made one start against the Red Sox this season and picked up a no decision after allowing three runs in five innings back on April 20th. Overall in his career, he’s made six appearances (two starts) against the Red Sox and has no record with a 3.14 ERA. Two of those appearances (one start) have come at Fenway Park where he has a 4.50 ERA (6 IP/3 ER).
