Game notes: A titanic matchup on the mound on national television at Fenway Park. On one side is Verlander, who left his last start on Sunday early with a tweak in his right groin. But he said he's good to go and won't miss a start. On the other side is Boston's prized pick up from the off-season, who has become the ace of the staff. He leads the AL with 119 strikeouts already this season.
