Washington Nationals (31-41) @ Boston Red Sox (41-28)
GAME: 7:05 EDT
TV: NESN
Radio: WEEI 850
Location: Fenway Park
RESULT OF PRIOR GAME
Red Sox 11, Nationals 3 (W: Tim Wakefield, L: Livan Hernandez)
Sox Star of the Game: Alex Cora – 3-3, 3 R, RBI
Game Notes: 5 in a row for the Sox came by way of a blowout, as the Sox ran Nats starter Livan Hernandez early and then chewed into th Washington bullpen. Tonight, two rookies square off, as Jon Lester takes the mound for his 3rd MLB start, coming on the heels of his first MLB win. The Nats are a good team for Lester – who has had some control problems this season – to be facing; they are for the most part free-swingers, which could negate Lester’s biggest weakness.
