Boston ended its losing streak at four games with a 4-2 win Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. The Red Sox have the third-best record in baseball at 45-32, sitting just a half-game back of American League East-leading New York. Offensively, the club has plenty of firepower, including the league's leading hitter in first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. He figures to play a prominent role in the result of tonight's contest, collecting seven hits in 10 career at-bats against Lee. Boston is 28-8 versus winning teams this year.
Red Sox starting pitcher Josh Beckett is 6-2 with a 1.86 ERA in 14 starts this season and recorded his fifth career shutout in a 3-0 win at Tampa Bay on June 15. The right-hander has compiled a 4-2 record and 2.35 ERA in eight road starts, as opponents are hitting just .183 against him. Beckett has appeared in 19 games (17 starts) against the Phillies in his career, producing an 8-4 record and 3.98 ERA. He is 2-3 with a 4.83 ERA in eight games (seven starts) in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia enters its three-game series against Boston in first place in the National League East and possesses the second-best home mark in all of baseball.
