Justin Masterson was Cleveland's Opening Day starter, but the starting pitcher has allowed 18 earned runs in his last four starts as his ERA has ballooned to 5.21. Masterson's average fastball velocity has dipped almost 2 MPH from May of last year, and it has prevented him from dominating later in games, according to MLB.com.
"We're just working on being consistent, trying to get him back to where he was last year, mixing his pitches good, making sure he throws his four-seamer in to lefties and things like that. Just a solid mix of pitches," Tribe pitching coach Mickey Callaway said. "I think he's probably been throwing too many sinkers, and that third time through they'll figure out, 'OK, he's throwing sinkers.' I think we've got to mix a little better."
Brock Holt had a record-tying four doubles and drove in two runs after hitting his first major league homer in Saturday's win, while Garin Cecchini and Alex Hassan recorded their first big league hits.
"We're tapping into organization depth and guys are ready to contribute," manager John Farrell said. "It is a special day. I don't know the last time two Red Sox players have gotten their first major league hits in a game."
John Lackey (6-3, 3.27 ERA) will be on the mound as he will look to help keep the Red Sox rolling. He's 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven starts and hasn't allowed a run in 13 1/3 innings over his previous two. He struck out nine in 6 1/3 innings of Wednesday's 4-0 win over Atlanta. The right-hander has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his 11 starts.
"I'm going out there and trying to compete, trying to pitch the best I could every five days, regardless of what's going on," he said. "As a starter, you only get 30-something chances a year, so you've got to respect those and take full advantage of them."
