Tune In to Red Sox-Mariners Coverage, Beginning at 9 p.m.

After a day of rest, the Red Sox are ready to stay up late.

Stay up with them, as the Sox take on the Mariners on Friday night. NESN's pregame coverage begins at 9 p.m., as John Lackey looks to have a repeat performance of his start in Seattle last July. In that start, he gave up just two hits and one run over eight innings.

He'll be opposed by rookie Blake Beavan, who's 3-2 with a 2.83 ERA in six starts. One of those two losses came against Boston on July 23.

Don Orsillo, Jerry Remy and Heidi Watney will bring you the first pitch shortly after 10 p.m., and stay tuned immediately after the game for NESN Daily.
