Josh Beckett will look for his first win in five starts as the visiting Boston Red Sox try to salvage a split of their four-game series with the Chicago White Sox in today’s Labor Day matinee.

Beckett is 0-1 with an 8.88 ERA in his last four starts, allowing 12 homers in those games after giving up 12 in his first 23 outings.

After the Red Sox lost the first two games of this series by a combined 17-3 score, Jon Lester shut down the White Sox in a 6-1 win Sunday.

Chicago had won four straight games before Sunday to prompt thoughts of a late surge, but the team will need to be almost flawless down the stretch to have any chance.

Mark Buehrle seeks a third straight quality start for the White Sox.

A win today would give the +145 White Sox their first series victory against the Red Sox since 2004.
