Josh Beckett pitches in his 100th start as a member of the Red Sox and his first appearance in the Metrodome. Unless these two meet in the playoffs, this will be the last time these teams meet in the dome.
J.D. Drew and David Ortiz get the holiday off against LHP Francisco Liriano as the 1st place Boston Red Sox look to make their reign at the top a long one.
There isn't a better pitcher in baseball not named Zack Greinke than Johan Santana. Not the best draw for Dice-K in his return. Good thing we have the mojo working...
Even though the Papi video tribute didn't bring back the old Papi (it was a lefty pitching...so a break is called for), a win begets a little more video mojo action. Too bad the Jays are throwing another lefty again tonight.
