| Anibal Sanchez In His Boston Organization Days |
So, now we know. It will be the
Tabbys From Motown who invade Fenway Park for the
American League Championship Series. While the Red Sox were 3-4 this year against Detroit, they outscored the Central Division Champs, 43-35—including a 20-4 blistering in the final tilt. The Tigers will send former Red Sox prospect
Anibal Sanchez to the mound to face
Jon Lester on Saturday night at 8:07 PM on FOX. Boston's Game 2 starter is still undetermined—although one source claims it will be
Clay Buchholz, followed in Game 3 by
John Lackey and Game 4 by
Jake Peavy. Sanchez has flown a bit under the radar this year—
despite leading the American League in ERA (2.57). He was traded to the Marlins in 2005 along with
Hanley Ramirez for
Josh Beckett and
Mike Lowell. The only time Sanchez has faced his old organization was back in 2006, when he gave up seven runs to the Red Sox.
