Red Sox-Rangers (August 9, 2005)

Matt Clement (11-3, 4.67) gets the start for the Sox against Texas' Joaquin Benoit (3-1, 2.49) in the middle game of this series. The game begins at 7:05 p.m. and it will be carried locally by NESN and WEEI. Game One was an offensive showcase -- there were 28 total hits in an 11-6 Boston victory. Big Papi hit home run No. 26 and Tony Graffanino hit his first Boston homer, a shot into the Monster Seats. It's safe to say that pitching will not be taking the spotlight in this series.
