(My Sportsbook) - The Boston Red Sox go for their 11th straight win this evening when they open a three-game series against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field.

Boston just completed a perfect 9-0 homestand, culminating with a three- game sweep of the New York Yankees. On Sunday, Justin Masterson went 5 1/3 innings while David Ortiz drove in two runs to help the Red Sox to a 4-1 win over the Yanks at Fenway Park.

Jacoby Ellsbury scored twice, including a steal of home while J.D. Drew also drove in a run for the Red Sox, who haven't won 11 in a row since a 12-game run from June 16-29, 2006.

Masterson (2-0) gave up just one run on six hits with a walk and four strikeouts to pick up the win.

Hoping to keep the Red Sox in the win column this evening will be knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, who has won his last two starts. Wakefield improved to 2-1 on Wednesday against Minnesota, as he allowed a run and five hits in seven innings to lower his earned run average to 2.45 on the year.

Wakefield is 10-8 lifetime against the Indians with a 4.50 ERA in 25 games, 20 of which have been starts.

Cleveland will counter with the American League's reigning Cy Young Award winner in left-hander Cliff Lee, who has gotten off to a slow start. Lee was charged with the loss on Wednesday, but pitched well, as the Royals reached him for a pair of runs and nine hits in eight innings of a 2-0 loss.

The setback dropped Lee to 1-3 on the year to go along with a 5.25 ERA.

One of Lee's three losses last season came at the hands of the Red Sox, who have fared pretty well against him. Lee is just 2-4 in eight starts against them with a 5.13 ERA.

Cleveland salvaged the finale of its three-game series with the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, as Ryan Garko drove in a pair of runs in a 4-2 win.

Asdrubal Cabrera went 2-for-3, drove in and scored a run in the win. Shin-Soo Choo knocked in the other run, and Victor Martinez went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to six games.

Garko has now reached base safely in all 13 games in which he's played this season.

Aaron Laffey (2-0) got the win after going 6 1/3 innings and yielding two runs on five hits. Kerry Wood tossed a scoreless ninth to get his fourth save.

Boston won five of its six games with the Indians last season and is 10-3 against them since the start of the 2007, including wins in five of its last six matchups in Cleveland.
