GAME NOTES: Beckett aims to be baseball’s first 16 game winner in the nightcap of a doubleheader. Due to Mirabelli’s injury, it was reported by the WEEI crew during game one that C Kevin Cash would be called up from Pawtucket for tonight’s game. Wily Mo Pena was dealt before today’s game in order to make room for Buchholz, and Buchholz will reportedly be sent immediately back to Pawtucket to make room for Cash. How will this affect Ellsbury? Expect updates.
