UConn Huskies women’s basketball fans. Your team is the 2014 NCAA Women’s Basketball Champions.

It’s time to stock up on 2014 UConn Huskies Championship apparel.

After picking up their first Fenway Park win of the 2014 season last night, the Boston Red Sox look to do it again tonight in the second game of a three-game set with the Texas Rangers.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Rangers market, you can catch the game on Fox Sports Southwest. And if you can’t catch the game on television, you can always listen on the 2014 Red Sox Radio Network.

Felix Doubront makes his second start of 2014 for the local nine. In his first start, he picked up the win against the Orioles after allowing three runs in 5.1 innings of work. In his lone start against the Rangers in 2013, he took the loss after being rocked for six runs in 3.2 innings of work. He’s made six career appearances (three starts) against them and is 0-3 with an 11.40 ERA. Two of those appearances (one start) have come at the Fens where he is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA (5 ER/5 IP).

Martin Perez gets the ball for the second time this season. He picked up a no decision in his first start after allowing two runs in 5.2 innings of work. His lone career start against the Red Sox came in 2012 in Arlington, TX when he received a no decision after allowing one run in six innings of work.
