Red Sox try to make it 13 in a row over Orioles

 

Boston (22-14) at Baltimore (18-21) 7:05 pm EDT

 

BALTIMORE (Ticker) - The Boston Red Sox can win 13 straight games against an opponent for the first time in nearly 28 years Tuesday night as they continue a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.

 

Since 1960, the Red Sox have posted four winning streaks of at least 13 games against an opponent. But with another win over Baltimore, Boston will have its first 13-game winning streak over a foe since it won 15 straight over Seattle from May 4, 1977-June 17, 1978.

 

The Red Sox have won the first seven meetings with the Orioles and opened this series with a 11-1 rout, which gave them their longest run vs. Baltimore since the franchise moved from St. Louis in 1954.

 

Wily Mo Pena, Mike Lowell and Jason Varitek homered as Boston won for the eighth time in 11 games overall and gave manager Terry Francona his 500th career victory.

 

Boston, which received seven strong innings from Josh Beckett, will send Curt Schilling (5-2, 3.76 ERA) to the mound. Schilling has dropped two of his last three starts following a 4-0 start.

 

Schilling is 2-0 against the Orioles this year and 4-4 lifetime. He beat Baltimore May 5 in Boston and gave up three hits and one run in seven strong innings here on April 8.

 

Since their last win vs. Boston on September 5, the Orioles have been outscored, 87-36.

 

Bruce Chen (0-4, 8.42) will take the mound for Baltimore and tries to end a personal six-game losing streak dating to September 11. Chen, who pitched briefly for the Red Sox in 2003, is opposing Schilling for the second time this year.

 

Chen fell to 3-3 lifetime against Boston on April 8, when he allowed two runs and six hits in five-plus innings.

No joke, and it's amazing that there is a "new" pic everytime!

[Jeff04]

They should rip the crap outta chen and schilling should be great. The orioles suck anyway so i expect this to be a good game offensively. GO SOX!!!

[Sox fan in Tex]

DADDY Boston 22 14 .611 -

Tampa Bay 15 23 .395 8.0

[Dana Kiecker]

Schilling needs to put these stupid rumors of him "losing it" like Randy Johnson to bed. He needs to make a statement against the lowly Orioles tonight. I bet he goes 7 strong and leaves with the lead.

Pena is a completely different player than the one we saw right after the trade. I love the improvement in his plate discipline.
