GAME: 8:10 EDT
TV: NESN
Radio: WEEI 850
RESULT OF PRIOR GAME
Red Sox 11, Twins 7 (W: Tim Wakefield L: Joe Mays)
Sox Star of the Game: Manny Ramirez – 4-4, 3 RBI, 3 R, HR, 2 2B
Game Notes: It’s a battle of the aces tonight, as AL Wins leader Curt Schilling takes on the man who beat him out for the 2004 Cy Young award, Johan Santana. Santana, among the best in the game, has been something of a victim of bad luck this year, with only a 6-4 record for his low ERA. Santana has struck out 91 batters in just over 88 innings, and has walked just 16; he’s the best pitcher the Sox have faced this season, and it will be interesting to see how this offense fares.
