Boston wasn’t just swept over the weekend by Texas – the Red Sox were clubbed, losing the three games a combined 26-11. It was the first time Boston has lost its first three games since 1996, which also happened in Texas. It should be noted that the 2004 Red Sox had four losing streaks of at least three games, and the 2007 Sox had six of them. Both teams won the World Series. And now Boston turns to what once was the team’s ace in Josh Beckett. But he was awful when healthy last year, going 6-6 with a 5.78 ERA. In spring training, Beckett gave up 28 hits and 15 earned runs over 25 1/3 innings. This will be his first start in Cleveland since Game 5 of the 2007 ALCS when he was brilliant and saved the Red Sox’s season. The Red Sox haven't dropped four in a row to start a season since they started the 1996 campaign 0-5.
The Indians are 1-2 but scored 20 runs in their series against Chicago. The Tribe start righty Josh Tomlin tonight. He beat out David Huff and Jeanmar Gomez for the lone vacancy in the Tribe's rotation during spring training. Last year, Tomlin became just the second Indians pitcher since 1920 to last at least five innings in his first 12 career starts.
