Wednesday’s Red Sox-Marlins matchups: Felix Doubront vs. Ricky Nolasco 06.13.12 at 9:46 am ET
By Kevin Dillon

Felix Doubront

Red Sox left-hander Felix Doubront will take the mound for Wednesday’s series finale with the Marlins in an effort to bounce back from his worst outing of the season.

Doubront (6-3) only lasted four innings in his last appearance against the Nationals, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks in the loss. The outing was his shortest of the season with only 82 pitches, and it raised his ERA from 3.75 to 4.34.

Despite only being in his first season in the starting rotation, the Venezuelan has been one of the most consistent starters for the Red Sox this season. He leads the team with 72 strikeouts and is tied for the most wins on the team with Clay Buchholz.

The 24-year-old will be making his interleague debut on Wednesday, and he has not faced any hitters on Miami’s roster.

Doubront will be facing off against Ricky Nolasco, who has had mixed results since starting the season 4-0 through his first six starts.

Nolasco (6-4) has a 4.36 ERA and 45 strikeouts with a decision in each of his last eight starts, going 4-4 in that time. Since May 12, though, Nolasco has struggled, going 2-4 with a 6.23 ERA and five home runs against.

Nolasco has only faced the Red Sox once in his career, earning the win in Boston in a game that was cut short by rain on June 18, 2009. Nolasco had only allowed one run on one hit through five innings before the game was called, giving the Marlins the 2-1 win at Fenway.

Kevin Youkilis has homered off of Nolasco, while Adrian Gonzalez has four hits in 15 at-bats.

Red Sox vs. Nolasco (RHP)

Adrian Gonzalez (17 plate appearances): .267 BA/.353 OBP/.333 SLG, 1 double, 3 RBIs, 1 strikeout

Ryan Sweeney (7): .429/.429/.429, 1 strikeout

David Ortiz (2): .000/.000/.000

Dustin Pedroia (2): .000/.000/.000

Kevin Youkilis (2): .500/.500/2.000, 1 home run, 1 RBI, 1 strikeout

Marlins vs. Doubront (LHP)

No Marlins batters have faced Doubront.

    “…no word on how quickly Celtics president Danny Ainge hung up the phone”

    Classic…..

  • Uncle Buck

    I caught that too.  The scribes here are improving.  

  • Sicko

     Don’t blame Ainge at all as Humphries is a gutless stiff.

  • Kman1020

    If Kardashian comes to the Celts I may not have to watch for awhile. UGH!

  • Uncle Buck

  • ziggy61

    I can not believe how over rated Pierce is.

  • Otis

    What is worse; being stabbed 10 times outside of a nightclub or being traded for Kris Humphries? Explain?

  • Crime & Punishment

    Care to bring anything of substance to the table to go along with that statement? Until then, your opinion is utterly meaningless.

  • AL

     OVER RATED ? MAYBE YOU ARE CONFUSING HIM WITH KOBE BRYANT ? ARE FR YOUR REAL DUDE,HE IS THE ULTIMATE STUD ANDCLUTCH PLAYER WHO PLAYED WITH SOME HORRIBLE CELTICS TEAMS OVER THE YEARS !

  • Bgilman66

  • Sherman

     Rondo and Smith can play with each other on their own time.

    holding out the carrot, a little bit of frosting is needed to get the deal done. I think 
    there will be a trade,it’s got to happen tonight, or early morning.

  • Anonymous

    Do it

  • Boris

    Please no. And if you do trade one of the most underrated players to ever play in the NBA, not to the repulsive Brooklyn Nets. Awful.

  • Dano S

    I would do this deal for Celtics also it is time for Celtics to make a major move. Humphries would help Garnett greatly.

  • Mitzvahman87

    That’s the stupidest thin I ever heard send pierce send kg for smith keep pierce

  • Larry33

    How about Pierce and Garnett to the Clippers for Jordan, Bledsoe and Butler and a first rounder, flip Bledsoe and Butler and the pick over to the Hawks for Smith and  Korver. You can have Jordan, Smith, Green, Bradley and Rondo next season. I like the youth and speed and defense on that squad. Smith will sign here to play with Rondo, Pierce and Garnett go home to Cali and get a real shot at a title this year. It would extend Pierce’s career a year or two as well.

  • molly

    That would be a terrible deal for the Green. Nets need to sweeten the pot with another player for sure. I MUST SAY HUMPhries is pretty cute and what a body. Sorry let me stick with sports. although you still get your heart broken.
