Article: Red Sox rotation set for ideal 1-2-3; But for Game 4, Wakefield remains a question mark

Tim Wakefield tested his balky back from the Fenway mound on Tuesday to see if he'll be able to start in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series.

Curt Schilling showed everything he needed to show on Sunday.

Two days after helping the Red Sox finish off the Los Angeles Angels in the first round, Schilling was tabbed to start the second game of the best-of-seven series against Cleveland's Fausto Carmona.

Josh Beckett will start the opener on Friday night against C.C. Sabathia. Daisuke Matsuzaka, who pitched the second game in the first round, will start Game 3 against Jake Westbrook.

"We just feel like this is our best way to go forward," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said.
