Boston at Cincinnati

Boston has a great bullpen and defense in the field. The offense is patient, drawing walks, and is #10 in baseball in runs scored and on-base percentage. They face young Cincinnati starter Sal Romano, who has walked 31 in 77 innings with 79 hits allowed. The Red Sox are 10-2 when following an off day, plus 37-14 in interleague games against a right-handed starter. Boston starter Rick Porcello has his sinker dipping again, allowing three runs his last two starts (12+ innings). Porcello earned the win after allowing one unearned run on five hits and one walk in 7.1 innings Saturday against the Rays. The Reds are 15-36 against the AL East. The Red Sox are also 39-16 in interleague contests, including 81-33 in interleague action against losing teams. Back Boston.
