Jason Varitek Getting the Start Against Chris Tillman, Orioles

The Red Sox lineup may not have much experience against Orioles righty Chris Tillman, but those who have faced the young O's hurler before have had plenty of success.

Carl Crawford is a career 6-for-12 with a double and two triples against the third-year slinger while J.D. Drew (1-for-1, double) and Dustin Pedroia (1-for-1) both have a hit apiece. Marco Scutaro has two hits in four at-bats against Tillman in his career but the shortstop is still battling a left oblique strain and will miss Monday's affair Fenway Park.

Leadoff hitter Jacoby Ellsbury has at least one hit in three straight while Kevin Youkilis is riding a four-game hitting streak.

Daisuke Matsuzaka takes the hill for the Sox, who are searching for their fourth straight win. O's second baseman Brian Roberts (9-for-20) and catcher Matt Wieters (6-for-11, two doubles, home run, five RBIs) have had much success against the Sox righty in their careers.
