Familiar left-handers

The Red Sox are going to see a couple of familiar left-handers in this series.

Lenny DiNardo will start tomorrow night's game, against Daisuke Matsuzaka. DiNardo is 1-2 with a 1.80 earned-run average in 12 games, including one start.

At the other end of the Athletics' pitching staff is Alan Embree, who played important roles out of the Boston bullpen not too long ago.

Embree has become the Oakland closer with right-handers Huston Street and Justin Duchscherer on the disabled list. Embree is 4 for 4 in save opportunities. He has a 3.00 E.r.A.
