After being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays, the Boston Red Sox look to take out their frustrations on the Texas Rangers over the next three days.
First pitch for tonight’s game will be at 7:10 p.m. and will be shown on NESN in the Red Sox television market. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports Southwest in the Rangers television market. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.
Tim Wakefield looks to get the ship sailing back in the right direction for the Red Sox tonight. Wakefield has made two starts this season and is 0-1 with a 5.11 ERA. He’s made 33 appearances (26 starts) against the Rangers in his career and is 10-15 with a 5.98 ERA and four saves.
Colby Lewis makes his third start of the season after spending two years in Japan. In his two previous starts, he is 2-0 with a 2.19 ERA. He’s appeared in five games (one start) against the Red Sox in his career and has no record with a 1.93 ERA.
