This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Boston Red Sox.

The home side hands the ball to Steven Wright (3-3, 1.52 ERA) who has produced a quality start in each of his six outings to start the 2016 campaign. Wright is coming off a gem, scattering three hits in a complete game 5-1 win over the Yankess on Sunday. Note that the only run he gave up was a homer with two outs in the ninth inning. Wright faced Houston on April 22nd and gave up one unearned run over 6 2/3's innings in the 6-2 victory. The visitors hand the ball to Lance McCullers, who makes his season debut for the club after starting on the DL with a shoulder injury. Note that McCullers was 6-7 with a 3.22 ERA as a rookie last year. Unfortunately for McCullers, he now faces a Red Sox line-up which has scored in double figures in each of its last four games, outscoring its opposition 51-16 in the process. Xander Bogaerts and Mookie Betts both homered in yesterday's 11-1 series opening beatdown. Look for Wright to outduel his counterpart and for BOSTON to continue its winning ways.
