Series Preview
Having lost three in a row, the Indians are looking to get back on track tonight in Fenway. On the hill is Justin Masterson, who has turned in a couple of solid starts recently including seven shutout innings and 10 K's against Boston back on June 2nd. He'll aim to repeat or best that line as he takes on John Lackey, who's having a bit of a resurgence this season.
Lonnie ChisenHallOfFame is back in the lineup, no doubt ready to wield both his impressive lumber at the plate and his iron glove at 3B. Carlos Santana gets the start at 1B and will bat from the 8th spot for just the third time this year. He's put up a respectable .830 OPS since his return from a the concussion, and I think we'd all gladly take that level of production over the rest of the season given his abysmal start.
Let's go, Tribe!
