Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Boston: Eduardo Rodriguez (2-5, 5.43 ERA) Baltimore: Yovani Gallardo (4-4, 5.17 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Eduardo Rodriguez goes for the Red Sox tonight and in his last outing he was solid only giving up one earned run in seven innings in a 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Boston has lost four of his last five starts including his last two. Rodriguez faced Baltimore in mid June where he was less than stellar giving up five earned runs in only four innings of work in a 5-1 Red Sox loss. The Red Sox are 1-5 in Rodriguez’s last six starts against a team with a winning record.
</p>
<p>
Yovani Gallardo gets the call for the Orioles and in his last outing he gave up one earned run in six innings in a 1-0 loss to the Oakland A’s. The Orioles have lost two of his last three starts. He did not have a good outing in his last one facing Boston giving up five earned runs in five innings, but the offense bailed him out in a 9-7 Baltimore win.
