Lackey is looking for 6th win in row. Yea, I know I am shocked too. He actually overall has been pitching really well. His ERA during this current streak is around 3.50 and he has taken down some good teams (Yankees, ect). One would think tonight he should have a real strong game, as he is usually very good against the AL West, and Seattle is not a very good hitting team anyways (5-0 with a 1.45 ERA during his last six visits to Seattle).
Going against him is Blake Beavan. He akes the mound looking to win a third straight start, but I don't he is anything special. He only K's 3.7 guys per 9 innings, and it's just a matter of time before he gets lit up. Beavan will try to slow down David Ortiz, who's gone 10 for 23 (.435) with 3 homers and 6 RBIs over his last 6 games. He is also batting .310 with two long balls over a seven-game hitting streak at Seattle.
Red Sox win 6-4
Player of the Game: Ortiz
Game starts at 10:10pm
