About 80-90 pitches for Masterson
Greetings from Fenway. Running a little late because I forgot the parking situation for day games (I usually take the T). Drove around and found a "deal" - only $40 (sorry boss).
Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Justin Masterson will be held to about 80 to 90 pitches today, which means about 5 or 6 innings, depending on how well he throws.
The lineup will feature right-handed bats (Crisp, Lowrie in; Drew, Casey out) against Angels lefty Joe Saunders.
Josh Beckett pitched a bullpen today and seems on target for a start this weekend against Tampa Bay.
Here is the SOX lineup:
Ellsbury, RF
Pedroia, 2B
Ortiz, DH
Ramirez, LF
Youkilis, 1B
Lowrie, 3B
Lugo, SS
Crisp, CF
Cash, C
(Masterson, P)
