Clay Buchholz (L), Justin Masterson (R)

After taking the weekend interleague series from the Chicago Cubs, the Boston Red Sox head to Cleveland, OH for the second time this season for a three-game set against the Indians at Progressive Field.

Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m. and will be televised in the Red Sox television market on NESN. If you live in the Indians television market, you can catch the game on STO. If you don’t live in either market you’re in luck as the game will also be available  on ESPN2. You can also catch the game online at ESPN3.com where available.  And if you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2011 Red Sox Radio Network.

Clay Buchholz has been on a roll as of late and looks to keep it going in his 10th start of 2011. In his previous nine starts, Buchholz is 4-3 with a 3.65 ERA. He didn’t face the Indians earlier this season and made one start against them in 2010 when he took the loss after allowing three runs in seven innings back on 6/9/10, which happened to be his only start at Progressive Field. He’s made two career starts against the Indians and is 0-1 with a 8.10 ERA (9 ER/10 IP).

Once a member of the Red Sox, Justin Masterson will look to beat his old team for MLB’s best team right now. In nine starts, Masterson is 5-2 with a 2.52 ERA. He didn’t face the Red Sox in the earlier matchup and made two starts, which happen to be both of his career starts against the Red Sox in 2010. In those two starts, Masterson was 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA (1 ER/14 IP). In Masterson’s only start against the Red Sox at home in the loss suffered by Buchholz, he threw a complete game shutout.
