The last time the Red Sox visited Tropicana Field, Matt Garza helped the Rays end their season. Tonight the Sox will look for some redemption as Beckett and Garza face eachother.
Beckett so far this season has been unimpressive. He is 2-1 with a 6.00 ERA, and really hasn't dominated at all other then the first start of the season. The good news is that the Rays have been struggling so far this season, and their bats (other then Pena) don't look as tough as they did last season.
I see Garza much like I see Beckett. He has the stuff to be dominant when he wants to, but he seems to string together some below par stats at times. So far this season Garza is 1-2 with a 4.97 ERA. He started off the season real hot, but over his past two starts he given up 10 runs.
I think one of these pitchers is due for a great name. my hope is that it is the Sox, but Boston could be having some trouble with their lineup as Youk might still be out with a bad back and DL Drew has been in and out of the lineup too...
Game starts at 7:08pm on NESN.
