3 games left this season and they are all in Baltimore. The Sox have a 1 game lead over Tampa Bay. Boston has Beckett on the hill tonight, so one would think this shouldn't be a problem. Then again, who knows what to think anymore.
Red Sox have the second-worst record (6-18) and second-worst ERA (5.82) this month, but none of that will matter if they can take care of business over the next couple of days. Beckett, who is 1-1 with a 6.38 ERA against the Orioles this season, but is 5-2 with a 3.18 mark over 11 career outings at Camden Yards.
He will be facing Tommy Hunter who had a 6.46 ERA during his previous four home starts before throwing seven scoreless innings in an 8-3 win over the Angels. He isn't anything great, so the Sox should be able to hit him. Yet, how many times have I said that and then the Sox turn around and put a 2 spot on the board.
If the Sox don't sweep this series then they don't deserve to be anywhere near the playoffs.
Red Sox win 7-3
Player of the Game: Gonzalez
