Here's the matchup:

Red Sox: When Lester last took the mound on Sunday against the Yankees, New York had taken the first two games of the series and were in
position to draw even with the Sox in the standings. But just as he's done all season, Lester delivered a brilliant outing that propelled Boston to a 9-2
win. He went seven strong innings and allowed just two runs -- both coming in a troublesome fifth inning. He recorded a no-decision on April 23 against the
Angels, allowing four runs and two homers in a 6-4 Boston loss.
A's: After posting four innings of one-run ball in his last start against Texas, Eveland ran into trouble in the fifth frame and let
frustration get the best of him en route to allowing five runs. The A's offense, though, had already given him six runs, so Eveland walked away with a
no-decision. This will mark his first career start against Boston.
