Huges (7-2, 3.17 ERA) will be pitching for the first time against the Red Sox not as a member of the Yankees.
"This is a tough place to pitch because of the environment and the confines," Hughes told MLB.com. "You have to limit the big innings. One swing here and it can be a big inning. You can't worry too much about the environment, though. You can't pitch too much to that. I just have to go out there and do a lot of the same things I've been doing and seeing how it plays out."
In his last start against Toronto, the right-hander tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing seven hits and striking out nine. It marked Hughes' fifth win in eight starts, according to MLB.com.
"Some starts I'll find that my fastball is better than anything I have going," Hughes said. "Last time in Toronto, I felt my curveball was really working, so I went more with that. It just depends on the lineup and the day."
Jon Lester (7-7, 3.33 ERA) will try and shut down a team that he has struggled against throughout his career. Against the Twins, Lester has gone 1-4 with a 4.74 ERA. The left-hander picked up his third win in four games Thursday against the Indians, allowing just two runs on eighth hits in 7 2/3 innings.
"He's really good," Indians manager Terry Francona said after facing Lester, "and he came out of the chute firing and looking really good. Trying to beat a pitcher like that, sometimes you have to try to get him out of the game."
