Notes: NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman will throw out tonight's ceremonial first pitch from the International Space Station. No, I'm not making this up.

Did you know that last weekend Clay Buchholtz became the youngest pitcher to start for the Red Sox, vs. the Yankees @ Fenway Park, since Roger Clemens on June 12, 1984? Clemens lasted 3.2 innings giving up 8 hits and 6 earned runs, while striking out 2 batters. That game, Don Mattingly was 5 for 5 (3-3 vs. Roger) and all 5 of his hits were singles.
