The Sox put their 11 game winning streak on the line once again against the Indians. Tonight the Sox put Brad Penny on the hill against Anthony Reyes. Reyes has not pitched bad this year, but has more walks then strikeouts, and that could really come back to haunt him against a very patient Red Sox club.
Penny has yet to lose this year, but did get lit up in 1 of his 3 starts this year. If you take that one bad start out he has pitched 12 innings allowing 5 runs. I'll be honest that I really don't know what to expect from Penny tonight. The Sox are due for a rough game, and the Indians have a lineup that can easily put up 10 runs, but yet everything seems to be clicking for the Sox.
Look for Boston to be even more patient that usual at the plate tonight. With Lugo and Ellsbury in the lineup the Sox will also be running a lot (if they can get those guys on), so if they can just get a couple of clutch hits they should be all over the scoreboard.
First pitch is at 7:05pm on NESN.
