The PawSox look to right the ship tonight (6:35pm) as they head to Rochester to begin a three game series with the Red Wings. RHP David Pauley (1-1, 1.17) gets the start for Pawtucket. He'll be opposed by RHP Kevin Mulvey (2-1, 1.16) for the Red Wings.
Here is some pre-game fodder...
Pawtucket Red Sox (13-11)
The PawSox enter the game in third place in the IL North, 3 1/2 games out of first place. They have struggled so far on the road, winning only three of ten away from McCoy.
Pauley makes his return to the PawSox rotation after making a spot start in Boston last week for the ailing Josh Beckett. Pauley's last Triple A start came April 15th at Indianapolis. He took the hard luck loss, giving up only one run on four hits over six innings of work in the PawSox' 3-0 defeat.
1B Sandy Madera looks to build upon his 3 for 4 Triple A debut yesterday against Buffalo. He was signed by the Red Sox earlier this month and called up to Pawtucket Saturday after Brandon Moss was promoted to Boston. He is in his 11th professional season, having been a member of the A's Yankees, Rockies, and Orioles organizations.
Rochester Red Wings (12-12)The Red Wings currently sit in fourth place in the IL North, 4 1/2 games out of first and one game behind the PawSox.
Mulvey makes his fifth start of the season. He has been extremely effective...giving up a total of three earned runs over 20 innings of work.
OF Jason Pridie begins this week with a 14-game hitting streak, the longest in the IL this season. During that streak he has three doubles, four triples, a homer and 11 RBIs. 3B Brian Buscher holds the team lead in batting (.345) and home runs (4).
Former Twins' pitching sensation Francisco Liriano has been optioned back to Rochester. Since being called up to Minnesota, he is 0-3 with a 11.32 ERA.
