Die-hard Sox fans anxiously await Game 3


(NECN: Latoyia Edwards, Boston, Mass.) - Game 3 of the ALCS is at Fenway Park this afternoon. Hundreds of fans are already outside the park, gearing up for the big game.

Jon Lester starts for the Red Sox this afternoon
as Boston tries to take command of the American League Championship
Series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The 24-year-old lefty has been untouchable in the playoffs.

He has not allowed an earned run in his last 22-and-two-third
postseason innings, including Game 4 of last year's World Series.

He went 11-and-1 at home this season, including a May 19
no-hitter against Kansas City.

Matt Garza starts for the Rays, looking for his first
post-season victory.

The Red Sox took the opener of the best-of-seven series in
Florida, but the Rays tied on Saturday night with an 11th-inning win.
