| Red Sox vs. Indians matchups, 4/7 | 04.07.11 at 9:49 am ET |
Thursday afternoon’s series finale between the Red Sox and Indians features a pair of aces who looked like anything but in their first starts of the season. Jon Lester giving up five earned runs over 5 1/3 innings in Boston’s opener against the Rangers was bad, but the Indians’ Fausto Carmona was even worse in his first start. He gave up a staggering 10 earned runs on 11 hits over three innings in a loss to the White Sox.
Carmona is 2-3 with a 4.25 ERA in seven career games against Boston, but current Red Sox have fared even better than those numbers would indicate. As a team, they’re hitting .336 against Carmona. Marco Scutaro and David Ortiz are both hitting .400 or better against him, while Jason Varitek and Jarrod Saltalamacchia aren’t far behind at .375. Ortiz and J.D. Drew each have a home run and five RBIs off Carmona.
Lester hasn’t been great against the Tribe — he has a 4.53 ERA in eight starts — but he does have a 3-1 record against them. Current Indians are batting .314 against the southpaw, though. Jack Hannahan, Austin Kearns and Adam Everett are all hitting .500 against him, while Orlando Cabrera and Lou Marson are both hitting .400 or better as well. One guy who has struggled, though, is Shin-Soo Choo, who is 0-for-6 with two strikeouts against Lester.
