TV: NESN/ESPN RADIO: WRKO 680, SBN 1150

GAME NOTES: The Red Sox and D'Backs finish off a fiercely contested three-game set at the Fens with Randy Johnson taking on Tim Wakefield, two pitchers with extensive resumes and a combined age of 216. Johnson has been severely roughed up in his last two starts against weak offensive teams: 8 IP, 7 ER vs. the Twins and 3.2 IP, 7 ER vs. the Royals. What will happen when Randy faces a top-ranked lineup? Well, if I know anything about baseball, he'll toss a gem.
