GAME NOTES: Off a thrilling come-from-behind win, the Red Sox look to sweep the short series against the Indians on the back of Tim Wakefield, who has been steady in the early going. Big Papi had two singles yesterday but his front side kept opening up, sapping him of opposite field power (as you saw with his opposite field poke of a single). If he can keep it closed in, Byrd may just be in for a hurting. Sox prospect (think of him as a Dustin Pedroia clone) Jed Lowrie will start in the field tonight with Sean Casey off.
