Scouting reports for series:
from diamondbacks.com
Scouting Report:
Red Sox: Beckett battled in his previous start, against the Yankees on Sunday night, giving up eight hits and four runs over 6 1/3 innings of a no-decision. The right-hander remains unbeatean and is still alive in his quest to become the sixth pitcher in Red Sox history to open a season 9-0. Lifetime against the D-backs, Beckett is 0-3 with a 6.97 ERA.
D-backs: Davis pitched well in his last start against the Mets in New York. The left-hander allowed just one run over 7 2/3 innings. He threw more curves than usual because the D-backs scouting report said the Mets have struggled with the breaking ball. Davis is on a roll. In his last three starts he has allowed just four earned runs over 22 2/3 innings. So far this year Davis has given the D-backs exactly what they hoped for when they acquired him from the Brewers during the offseason.
Red Sox: Tavarez has lasted 5 2/3 innings in each of his past three starts. He gave up nine hits to the Oakland A's on Monday night, just one shy of his season-high. He's allowed nine runs in 17 innings following his best outing of the season on May 17 when he gave up one run on four hits in seven innings in beating the Detroit Tigers.
D-backs: Owings has not started since May 29 when he faced the Phillies in Philadelphia. The right-hander didn't have his best stuff in that game, but still allowed just one run on seven hits over five innings. Owings has twice been skipped when the team has had off days, but it's not performance based as he has given them more than they could have expected heading into Spring Training. He has lived up to his Minor League reputation of finding a way to win. Last year he was a combined 16-2 at Double-A and Triple-A.
Red Sox: Matsuzaka made his seventh quality start when he gave up two runs on seven hits over seven innings in a 2-0 loss to the Oakland A's on Tuesday. The bad news is that he threw 130 pitches, the most by a Red Sox hurler since last April. The good news is that he's bunched good starts together, so he may do so again this time around.
D-backs: Johnson leapfrogged Roger Clemens into second place on the all-time strikeout list with eight punchouts against the Giants in his last start. The left-hander allowed two runs on seven hits over six innings. He has hit his stride of late throwing six shutout innings in his start before against the Phillies in Philadelphia. Johnson missed the start prior to the one in Philly with tendinitis in his left forearm, but it has not bothered him since.
I am going to the game friday. I am jealous of those going on sunday. Great pitching matchup sunday!
