Prev. Gm: |
Baltimore Orioles (44-46) @ Boston Red Sox (55-39) |
GAME NOTES: The Red Sox round out the pre-All Star break first half (not truly the halfway point, but whatever) with another visit from the Baltimore Orioles. Clay Buchholz makes his much-anticipated return to the mound against the team he threw a no-no against last September, and while he struggled with a 5.53 ERA in the rotation at the beginning of the year, he was outstanding at Fenway Park: 1.04 ERA, 2-0, .226 BAA. He’s earned his way back into the rotation with 43 K in 43.2 IP at Pawtucket including a 2.47 ERA. Opposing the Red Sox is Brian Burres, who has a 1.56 WHIP and 5.07 ERA. Win.
