APRIL 12th COLUMBUS (8-6) at WORCESTER (9-4) 1:05 pm

Columbus Clippers RHP Trenton Denholm (1-0, 2.45) vs. Worcester Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle (1-0, 4.50)

Sunday Series Finale - The Worcester Red Sox will put a bow on their first extended home series of the season when they play the finale of their 6-game set against the Columbus Clippers (AAA-Cleveland Guardians) this afternoon at 1:05 pm at Polar Park. The WooSox lead the series, 3 games to 2 and are in search of their second straight series victory following their 5-game sweep at St. Paul last weekend. Worcester dropped 2 of 3 to Syracuse here at home to begin the season so they have a 1-1-0 series record pending today's outcome. Today's game is live on NESN+ and on The Pike 100.1 FM and the rest of the WooSox Radio Network.

This and That - The WooSox will be looking to avoid losing back-to-back games for the first time this season today. The Sox are 9-4 to match their best start in franchise-history (the 2022 WooSox were also 9-4, but then 9-5). The WooSox have won 8 of their last 10 games overall. They are 4-4 at home compared to 5-0 on the road.

The Road Ahead - Speaking of the road, the Sox will fly to Nashville, TN on their offday tomorrow in advance of opening a 6-game series in the terrific city of Nashville on Tuesday evening at 7:35 pm (EDT). The WooSox will be facing the Nashville Sounds (AAA-Milwaukee) for the first time ever as the 6-game set starts on Tuesday and continues through next Sunday afternoon at First Horizon Park. The last time a Red Sox Triple-A affiliate played in Nashville was on May 23, 1991 when the Pawtucket Red Sox blanked the Sounds behind Kevin Morton, 4-0. The PawSox victory gained a split of that 2-game series (yes, travel from Pawtucket, RI to Nashville, TN for a 2-game set) and began a rather strange 10-game roadtrip for Pawtucket that included stops in Nashville (2 games). then to Louisville (3 games), then off to Indianapolis (3 games), and then finally to Buffalo (for 2 games). Ah, travel in the old International League! By the way, Pawtucket and Nashville were part of the unique Triple-A Alliance that featured teams from the International League (like Pawtucket) facing teams from the American Association (like Nashville) in an interleague partnership from 1988-1991. The Pacific Coast League, the third Triple-A league at the time, did not participate - thankfully!

View From Above - The WooSox (9-4) are still alone in 1st -place atop the International League East division by a 1/2-game over both Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Lehigh Valley. Memphis leads the overall 20-team league with an 11-3 record good for 1st -place in the IL West. We know it's early, but we are 17.5% of the way through the first half of the season (first 75 games) which ends on June 21.
