With Texas losing 11-0 last night to the Angels all the Sox have to do is win a single game and they are in the playoffs. Tonight, they turn to one of their most reliable pitchers over the past 2 months, Clay Buccholz. Clay enters this game with a 10 2/3 innings scoreless streak, and over his past 8 starts has an ERA of 2.44. You can't ask for more out of your 3rd starter.
Facing him tonight will be Ricky Romero, who started the year hot has cooled off of late going 1-4 with a 5.71 ERA in his last 6 starts. He has played against the Sox 4 times and has gone 0-3 with a 8.83 ERA. Everything on paper looks like the Sox should clinch tonight, but as the guys from The K-Line says "baseball is a funny game".
We will have lineups up later today when they are announced.
Game starts at 7:10pm on NESN.
