GAME NOTES: Livan Hernandez was able to tame the Sox bats last time around after a shaky first inning. Still, all signs point to the Red Sox being able to handle the wily veteran: 7.00 ERA on the road, 6.62 ERA in June, .336 BAA for the entire season, only 43 K in 116 innings….it’s a wonder Hernandez still has a job. Josh Beckett? His job security is quite safe. Is there anyone else you’d rather have on the mound going for a big sweep over an AL contender? Didn’t think so.
