Red Sox-Orioles (May 15, 16 & 17)

Rain soaked from Boston, the Red Sox will (hopefully) open a three game series with the Baltimore Orioles tonight at Camden Yards. Josh Beckett (4-1, 4.70) goes against the struggling Rodrigo Lopez (1-5, 7.03) tonight at 7:05 pm on NESN, ESPN, and WEEI. Beckett hasn't pitched since last Tuesday when he shut down the Yankees. In Game 2, Curt Schilling (5-2, 3.76) tries to bounce back from a rough outing in New York last Wednesday. He will be opposed by another struggling Oriole starter, lefty Bruce Chen (0-4, 8.42). NESN and WEEI have the game at 7:05 pm. In Wednesday's series finale, the red-hot Tim Wakefield (3-4, 4.03) faces lefty Erik Bedard (4-2, 4.63), one of Baltimore's lone bright spots. As in the other two games, this is a 7:05 pm start on NESN and WEEI. The first place Red Sox should take at least 2-of-3 from the lowly Birds. They need to jump on the poor pitching of the Orioles and hope that their top three starters are on their game.
