6/14: Keep The Ball Down

Prev. Gm:

Boston Red Sox (42-28) @ Cincinnati Reds (33-36) Tim Wakefield (4-4, 4.33) @ Edinson Volquez (9-2, 1.56) 3:55 PM EDT | Great American Ballpark (Cincinnati, OH) TV: FOX RADIO: WRKO 680, SBN 1150

GAME NOTES: The key for Wakefield today if he wants to avoid the home run that haunted Justin Masterson last night: keep the ball down. Otherwise the hanging knuckler will be flying and the Red Sox will be in trouble. He’s opposed by someone who seemingly throws every single pitch at the knees- Edinson Volquez, the Cy Young frontrunner at this point for Cincinnati. He came over in a swap for Josh Hamilton in one of the best win-win trades of all-time. Will the road woes continue?
