Clay Buchholz Puts Resurgence to the Test Against Cy Young Candidate Jered Weaver (Video)

It's really been a tale of two halves in 2012 for Clay Buchholz.

Early on he struggled badly, owning a 9.09 ERA after a May 6 start against the Baltimore Orioles. Since that time, however, Buchholz has easily been the Red Sox best and most consistent starter, showing the form that led many to consider him an ace-caliber pitcher.

But in Wednesday night's contest the right-hander is going to have to be at his best, as Buchholz is set to square off against Cy Young candidate Jered Weaver, who might be coming off two tough starts, but is still one of the best in baseball.

Can Buchholz prevail? See what the Red Sox Gameday Live crew has to say in the video above.
