Red Sox pulled off the win yesterday in dramatic fashion, but that was against the Mariners and that shouldn't have been that hard. Tonight the Red Sox get Jered Weaver and the Angels. Weaver has been the best pitcher in baseball and is currently 6-0 with a 0.99 ERA, which is just straight silly. That is bad news for a Boston team that has really struggled to score runs this year.
Buchholz is on the hill for the Sox, and has had a rough start to the season going 1-3 with a 5.33 ERA. His confidence seems to be shaky, and Buchholz seems to be one of those guys that can let that carry from game to game. So for him to come out and start strong is a must tonight.
There doesn't seem to be a lot going the Red Sox way for tonight, but Weaver's ERA is 7.76 in five starts at Fenway, so there is a chance. One would think Boston's offense is going to have to start rolling at some point, but I just don't see it with the way Weaver has been pitching.
Angels win 6-2
Player of the Game: Weaver
Game starts at 7:10pm
