Prev. Gm: |
Minnesota Twins (50-39) @ Boston Red Sox (53-39) |
GAME NOTES: Nick Blackburn is an excellent pitcher….at home. On the road? 2-2, 5.06 ERA, .318 BAA. He’s also slumped lately, with a lackluster 5.86 ERA in June. The Red Sox were baffled last night by the finesse of Scott Baker, so look for them to make adjustments and take their fury out on Blackburn. Jon Lester has been tremendous this season and should be able to handle the Twins bats/running game. He’s looking to replicate (or come close) to his effort last week at Yankee Stadium.
