Playoffs start tonight!
By Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff
Seriously.
It's just that they're the Northern Division playoffs in Double A. Still, Portland faces Trenton tonight in the first game of their five-game set to determine the Eastern League's Northern Division champion.
Justin Masterson, the up-and-comer in the Red Sox system, will be facing lefty Chase Wright. That second name should sound familiar to most of you. It's the same Chase Wright who allowed back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs in Fenway Park earlier this year. (Trenton is the Yankees' Double A club.)
