Buchholz looks to continue early season form



The Red Sox have the best record in the Major Leagues on May 1st, a place in the standings that shocks all but the true Fenway Faithful. This hot start could be attributed to the hot start of Mike Napoli, or even the the resurgence the offense got when David Ortiz returned. But in reality Clay Buchholz is leading the way for the Boston Red Sox early this season. Buchholz is one of 3 pitchers with 5 wins on the year and will be pitching for his MLB leading 6th victory on the season in 6 starts. In Buchholz's last start he pitched 7.2 innings against the Houston Astros allowing only 2 runs and 6 hits. He has pitched at least 7 innings every time he has gotten the ball this year and has given up only 2 earned runs twice. Tonight Buchholz gets the ball against Mark Buehrle, with the Red Sox losing yesterday it is a very important game for them to get back into the win column and be able to have a chance to win the series tomorrow. How do you think Buchholz will pitch tonight, does he get the win? Will Buchholz ever lose a game this season?
