Phil Hughes (0-1, 5.00 ERA) vs. Daisuke Matsuzaka (2-0, 1.47 ERA)

Time: 8:05 p.m.
TV: ESPN, MLB.tv
Radio: WCBS-AM 880, XM Radio Channel 176

Pregame concerns:

• Hughes has never faced Boston.
• Matsuzaka is 2-1 with a 6.12 ERA in four career starts against New York.
  
• Damon is 5-13 with one home run and four RBI against Matsuzaka. That probably factored into him starting over Melky Cabrera (0-7 against Matsuzaka).
• Posada is 5-9 with two RBI and three doubles against Matsuzaka.
• Giambi is 3-6 with three RBI and a double against Matsuzaka.
  
• Too bad Derek Jeter isn't playing. He is 4-12 with two home runs and three RBI against Matsuzaka.
