Game 118: Red Sox at Padres lineups

Does the time period “you come on the king, you finest not miss” apply to Michael King? We’ll discover out tonight, because the Sox tackle the Padres ace, whose 165 ERA+ can be good for seventh in all of baseball if he’d pitched sufficient to qualify. The rationale he doesn’t qualify is that he simply missed nearly three months with a shoulder challenge. He’s making his return tonight, which looks as if a very good time to face somebody of his caliber.

First pitch is at 8:40, catch the sport on NESN or WEEI.
