An Important Game No One Will Watch

On the line tonight:

- Avoiding a sweep.

- Snapping a three-game loss streak.

- Snapping a seven-game loss streak against the Orioles at Fenway.

- Avoiding dropping another full game in the standings, because of the direct damage done by a team within the same division.

- Avoiding dropping below .500 (I almost decided not to say that one).

Oriole starter Brian Matusz is not great, but he appears to pitch better against the Sox than he does against anyone else. Clay Buchholz starts for the Sox.

PS. The Yankees are now in second place. 

PPS. Go Celtics!
