Ecstatic Schilling set to face O's
Boston (3-1) at Baltimore (2-2), 4:35 p.m. ET
The last few days have likely gone slowly for Red Sox ace Curt Schilling. When he pitches like he did in Monday's opener against the Rangers, all Schilling wants to do is take the ball again.
He'll get that chance on Saturday when he faces the Orioles.
While Schilling, as the stopper, is often called on to halt a losing streak, this time his job is to keep the momentum on Boston's side. The Red Sox have come out of the gate strong, winning three of their first four.
The Orioles counter with left-hander Bruce Chen, who spent part of the 2003 season with the Red Sox.
Schilling is ecstatic with the way he feels, both from a physical and mental standpoint.
"This has been almost two years since I've felt even remotely close to this," Schilling said. "This is what I felt like in 2002."
