The Boston Red Sox have their backs against the wall today when they send Clay Buchholz to the mound to avoid a sweep against Josh Tomlin and the Cleveland Indians. Buchholz has been delivering down the stretch. In his last 3 outings, he is 2-0, with a 1.42 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. Indians’ Tomlin has been sharp as well. Over his last 3, he is 1-1, with a 1.74 ERA and a WHIP of 0.77. Cleveland is 1-4 in their last 5 meetings at Fenway and the Indians are 0-4 in Tomlin’s last 4 starts against the American League East. Boston lives another day.
