The Orioles look to win their seventh straight game at Fenway Park for the first time in their history Wednesday night when they go up against Josh Beckett, after beating them last night in the 10th inning. Beckett is looking to bounce back after giving up a shit load of hits last night out. I expect he does bounce back as it is rare for him to go long stretches without a good outing, but that is basically nothing more than a guess on my part. Beckett scares me a lot now, he doesn't throw as hard, so if he isn't paint the corners and locating well he can get lit up quick.
Going against Beckett is Wei-Yin Chen. Wei-Yin Chen (4-2, 3.75) was knocked around for five runs and five hits in the first inning against the Rays on Friday. He ended up calming down and doing pretty well after that, but he has an ERA of 7.31 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Sox were able to put 4 runs up against him in 5 innings last time they faced him. I expect the Sox to be able to score 4-5 runs off this starter, so the question is really what Beckett we get tonight. Sorry, I just don't trust him right now.
Orioles win 7-6
Player of the Game: JJ Hardy
Game starts at 7:10 pm
