The Boston Red Sox have won 11 of their first 12 games this month to improve to 17-5 since the All-Star break. Boston righty Nathan Eovaldi (5-4, 3.74 ERA) was knocked around by Baltimore his last time out, but here he'll face a Phillies team which has scored just 16 runs in its last seven games (2.3 runs per game). Eovaldi is 3-4 with a 3.51 ERA in nine career starts versus the Phillies who turn to Vince Velasquez (8-9, 3.98 ERA). He was tagged with four runs in as many innings of a 6-0 setback at Arizona his last time out and Phillies are 4-9 in Velasquez's last 13 starts.

Phillies are 1-6 in Velasquez's last 7 Wednesday starts. Red Sox are 21-5 in their last 26 Wednesday games.
