Red Sox-White Sox (August 13, 2005)

The greatest value in professional sports history came through at the Fens once again last night -- "Big Papi" David Ortiz powered the Red Sox to a 9-8 victory with a 4-for-5 night at that plate that included 2 home runs and 6 RBI's. All that production for just $6.5-million per year. Tim Wakefield (11-9, 4.13) gets the ball on Saturday night facing A.L. Cy Young candidate Jon Garland (16-5, 3.29). When these two teams faced off in Chciago last month Garland shut the Red Sox offense down and tonight the Red Sox look to have a better night versus the tall right hander. NESN and WEEI have the game beginning at 7:05 p.m.
