It has been over 2 months since the Red Sox have needed to stop a 3 game losing streak, but at least they can be happy that their ace is on the hill tonight. Beckett will try to right the ship against Tommy Hunter.
Hunter has been pitching real well of late, letting up only 1 run over his last 2 starts. It would seem that Hunter is hitting the Sox at the perfect time, as they just can't score runs lately. Ellsbury has taken over the leadoff spot once again, as the Sox just can't get anyone to step up can take over that spot. It also doesn't help that Bay is barely hitting over .150 over the past month.
The good news? Beckett has been filthy this season. He's got an 11-3 record and a 3.35 ERA. Beckett has been outstanding in his two previous appearances in Arlington, winning both while allowing one run in 12 innings.
I am not worried about Beckett letting up a lot of runs, but Texas will get some, and I am just not sure if Boston's bats are ever going to show up....
Game starts at 8:05pm on NESN
