With the Boston Red Sox scoring runs in bunches, Fenway Park has been a difficult place for visitors lately. At the moment, no road venue looks like a good one for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who will be trying to snap a 10-game road losing streak as they begin a six-game trip Tuesday night against Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox. Boston lost six of its first seven games at Fenway, an uncharacteristic start for a team that went 56-25 at home each of the last two years. But the Red Sox have won 19 of their last 28 at the oldest ballpark in the majors, a big reason they are back in the AL East race. They’ve scored eight or more runs five times in their last seven home games, although they missed out on a three-game sweep of Philadelphia with Sunday’s 5-3 defeat. Arizona was swept three times on its last road trip, an 0-9 debacle that featured walk-off defeats in each of the last four games - including a 1-0, 14-inning loss to the Dodgers in the finale June 2.
It has been nearly a month since the Diamondbacks’ last road win, a 5-1 win at Florida on May 17, and it may not be easy to end the drought with Buchholz on the mound. The emerging right-hander’s five-start winning streak was snapped Wednesday, but he posted his sixth consecutive quality start, holding Cleveland to three runs and three hits in seven innings of an 11-0 loss. Still, Buchholz hopes to have better command after walking four Indians. The 25-year-old faces an Arizona lineup that has not scored a run in its last 31 innings on the road, although the Diamondbacks’ hitters showed signs of life during a 6-4 homestand, scoring seven runs five times. Chris Young hit his 11th and 12th home runs in Sunday’s 7-5 win over St. Louis, including a walk-off shot in the ninth inning. Arizona is still hoping for more contributions from slugger Justin Upton, who had Sunday off after going 4 for 26 with 14 strikeouts and no extra-base hits in his previous seven games.
