Boston looks to complete a four-game sweep of Chicago and earn its eighth win in 10 games overall when the teams meet tonight. Junichi Tazawa will be going again John Danks. Tazawa has been a pleasant surprise for the Sox with a 2-2 record and a 3.57 ERA. Tazawa threw six scoreless innings in Saturday's 14-1 win over New York, giving up eight hits and two walks but holding the Yankees hitless in eight at-bats in RBI situations.
Danks is having a solid year with a 11-8 record and an ERA of 3.85. Danks has struggled against the Red Sox, losing all three times he's started while compiling a 6.06 ERA. He's pitched well lately, going 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA in his last three starts. He'll have to get through Ortiz though and he is a White Sox killer hitting .309 with 22 homers in 311 at-bats.
