Pitching matchup
BOS: RHP Tim Wakefield (4-5, 4.17 ERA)
Wakefield has given up three earned runs or fewer in each of his past five starts since allowing eight runs in five innings against Oakland on May 23. He's gone at least seven innings in all of those outings, but is just 1-2 in that span. His outing on Friday resulted in a 5-4 Red Sox loss to the Cardinals. Still, his ERA has continually dropped in each start from its highest point of the season on May 23, when it rose to 5.19 after that rough outing against the A's.

tossing his first complete game since Aug. 24, 2006. Six of the seven runs came during the third inning. Johnson has allowed 10 or more hits in back-to-back
starts for the first time in his career, and his outing against the Twins was the first time he had struck out one or fewer batters since Aug. 4, 2006.
