7/9: Sweep ‘Em Away

Prev. Gm:

Minnesota Twins (50-40) @ Boston Red Sox (54-39) Livan Hernandez (9-5, 5.18) @ Josh Beckett (8-5, 3.70) 1:05 PM EDT | Fenway Park (Boston, MA) TV: NESN RADIO: WRKO 680, SBN 1150

GAME NOTES: Livan Hernandez was able to tame the Sox bats last time around after a shaky first inning. Still, all signs point to the Red Sox being able to handle the wily veteran: 7.00 ERA on the road, 6.62 ERA in June, .336 BAA for the entire season, only 43 K in 116 innings….it’s a wonder Hernandez still has a job. Josh Beckett? His job security is quite safe. Is there anyone else you’d rather have on the mound going for a big sweep over an AL contender? Didn’t think so.
