TV -- Channel 11. Radio -- KSPN (710).
Update -- Red Sox Manager Terry Francona didn’t think Friday’s rainout would affect Arroyo. “I think he’ll be just fine,” Francona said. Yankee pitching Coach Mel Stottlemyre, though, said of Brown: “He was, I think, more antsy than anyone else in our clubhouse.” The right-hander gave up one run in six innings of his last start, a Game 3 win over Minnesota in the division series.
