Game Notes:
- With a victory, Schilling will have win number 200 on his career.
- Schilling has been astounding at Fenway Park. He has started four games, and is 4-0 with a 1.86 ERA in 29.0 innings pitched. He has struck out 25 in Fenway while only walking one batter all season.
- Youkilis will start in left field for Manny Ramirez, who is a little stiff after a bad slide into first base. Youkilis has never played in left field -- ever.
- Pena was originally scheduled in center field, but has been replaced by Willie Harris due to a wrist injury.
