My Comment: After this homestand, it may be a good thing that the Red Sox are going on the road to visit the Jays and the Rays. An out-of-town tune up for the final stretch is perhaps needed and will get Boston focused on the goal - AL East Championship.

TEXAS: Starting Pitcher: Matt Harrison; Winning Pitcher: Matt Harrison
