After a big win last night, the Boston Red Sox will look to do the same thing in game two of a three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight at Fenway Park.

Tonight's game will start at 7:10 p.m. and will be shown on NESN in the Red Sox television market. The game will be broadcast on Sun Sports in the Rays television market. And if you don't live in either market, you're in luck as the game will also be shown on the MLB Network. If you can't catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.

Daisuke Matsuzaka looks to avoid the one bad inning in his 21st start of 2010. In his previous 20 starts, Dice-K is 9-4 with a 4.29 ERA. He's made two starts against the Rays in 2010 and is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA (7 ER/11 IP). In 11 career starts against the Rays, Dice-K is 2-5 with a 4.34 ERA.

David Price will look to boost his Cy Young credentials tonight in his 27th start of 2010. In his previous 26 starts, Price is 16-6 with a 2.92 ERA. He's made two starts against the Red Sox in 2010 and is 1-1 with a 3.07 ERA (5 ER/14.2 IP). Tonight will mark Price's first start at Fenway Park as all four of his career starts against the Red Sox have come at the Trop. In those four career starts, he is 2-2 with a 3.81 ERA.
