OAKLAND -- The Red Sox bring their winning ways into Oakland starting tomorrow night to start a big three game series between two hot teams. Boston has been absolutely aflame. They're on a 10-game winning streak and have won 14 of 16. Their schedule has been somewhat easy compared to Oakland, but their .296 team batting average is no fluke. It would be a huge lift for Oakland if they can take this series.Pedro Martinez takes the hill in the opener for Boston. He has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in any start this year. Martinez struckout 19 on opening day.
Incredibly, Boston pitching has shutout their opponent 6 times this season. They are 6-1 in one run games.
