Boston Red Sox (13-6) @ Cleveland Indians (11-7) Brad Penny (2-0 7.80) @ Anthony Reyes (1-0, 4.76) 7:05 PM EDT | Progressive Field (Cleveland, OH) TV: NESN RADIO: WRKO 680, SBN 1150 |
GAME NOTES: The high ERA is misleading for Penny; he’s had two quality starts in three tries. He’s only struck out five, which is a concern (walked eight). His velocity is not the issue, so he just needs to work on command.
Reyes was in the doghouse for the Cardinals last year for no apparent reason. He’s 13-25 with a 4.90 ERA, colored by a brutal (and so far, unsustained) 2007 campaign. Last year, he posted a 2.76 ERA in 49 innings with a 1.27 WHIP. His WHIP is 1.29 so far this year.
Tonight will be cold with showers. Julio Lugo makes his season debut.
