After failing to pick up their third straight come-from-behind win, the Boston Red Sox will look for a win the more conventional way tonight against the Cleveland Indians at Fenway Park in the game two of a four-game set.

This evening’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 Indians television market, you can catch the game on STO. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.

Josh Beckett will toe the rubber for Terry Francona and the Red Sox tonight in his third start since being activated from the disabled list. Overall, Beckett has made 10 starts in 2010 and is 2-1 with a 6.33 ERA. He hasn’t faced the Indians in 2010 and is 2-4 with a 6.56 ERA in six career starts against them.

The Indians have called up David Huff from Triple-A Columbus to make the start tonight. Huff has made 13 starts in the big leagues this season and is 2-9 with a 6.04 ERA.  He’s made one start against the Red Sox in 2010 and his career that came back on June 8th. In that start, he took the loss after allowing three runs (none earned) in six innings in the 3-2 win by the Red Sox.
