Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles 7:05 p.m Oriole Park at Camden Yards SP: Clay Buchholz vs Chris Tillman TV: NESN, MLB.tv Radio: Red Sox Radio Network

Evening Red Sox Delight - 6/4 [SOX & Dawgs]

Coming off of a 4-3 homestand, the Boston Red Sox head south to Camden Yards for a three-game weekend matchup with the Baltimore Orioles.

Tonight's game will start at 7:05 p.m. and will be shown on NESN in the Red Sox television market. The game will be shown on MASN in the Orioles television market. If you can't catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.

Clay Buchholz looks for his ninth road win in a row for Terry Francona and the Red Sox. He's been the most consistent Red Sox starter this season as he is 7-3 with a 2.73 ERA in ten starts. Buchholz hasn't faced the Orioles in 2010 but he's made seven appearances (six starts) against the Orioles in his career and is 4-2 with a 4.21 ERA. In four appearances (three starts) at Camden Yards, Buchholz is 2-1 with a 7.63 ERA.

Chris Tillman makes his second start since being called up on May 29th by the Orioles. In his first start out against the Blue Jays, he received a no decision after allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings. He's never faced the Red Sox in his career.

Lineups, batter/pitcher matchups, and links after the jump.

Just as the Boston Red Sox are getting ready to come to town, Captain Kirk Dave Trembley has been relieved of his duties as commander of the USS Enterprise with the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles are off to a MLB-worst 15-39 start to the 2010 season.

Ironically enough, four of those 15 wins this season have come against the Red Sox including a three-game sweep the last time the Red Sox were in Camden Yards.

Third base coach Juan Samuel will take over as interim manager of the Orioles for the time being.

It's not too often that a team like the Boston Red Sox belts out 18 hits and loses. But that's exactly what happened in yesterday's 9-8 loss to the Oakland Athletics yesterday. Yes the Red Sox took 2-of-3 from the A's but yesterday's result may have been different which leads to me to the following question.

Who went ahead made Tim Bogar a combination of Wendell Kim and Dale Svuem?

Bogar is in his first year of coaching third base for the Red Sox and at times he's made some good decisions and other times, he's made some bad decisions. During two different points of the game yesterday, Bogar made two bad decisions.

The first one happened in the 3rd inning.

Victor Martinez, who by the way is still hobbled by a bad toe, led off the inning with a single. Kevin Youkilis followed that with a shot off the Green Monster and instead of holding up VMart at third, Bogar sent him and he was gunned down at the plate. And oh by the way, the red-hot Adrian Beltre was on deck.

The second time Bogar screwed up came just an inning later.

Darnell McDonald led off with a single and then on a pick-off attempt banged his knee on the ground. He stayed in the game and would go to second on a Bill Hall single. Jeremy Hermida followed that with a single to right and yes you guessed it, Bogar sent the hobbled McDonald home. McDonald was thrown out at the plate by a great throw from Gabe Gross in right field. I've seen Gross play in the minors and I don't remember too many people running on him.

Here's the video of said plays:

While I'm not going to say those two runs cost the Red Sox the game because it would have made it 10-9, what I will say is it did cost the Red Sox the game because it could have changed the momentum of the game. Runners on second and third with no outs is a lot better than a runner on third and no outs. The same goes with having the bases loaded with no outs.

Instead of heading out on a seven-game road trip with a five-game winning streak, the Red Sox now head to Baltimore winners of four of their last five games. That's still pretty good in my book. And lest us not forget that the Red Sox were swept the last time they were in Baltimore.

“We’re overwhelmed by the support we’ve received from the local sports and business communities over the last three years and especially thrilled to have Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods as our presenting sponsor and the return of Absolut as our title sponsor for the concert,” said Beckett. “As a result of our collective efforts, we are fortunate enough to raise funds that make a positive impact on the lives of kids served by Children’s Hospital Boston. I’m thrilled to be back for another Beckett Bowl to rally around these deserving children and make an even greater impact in the community.”

Local companies and individuals are invited to sponsor four-person bowling teams for the event. Each team will be joined by a celebrity teammate and compete for unique prize packages.
