Josh Beckett, Red Sox Looking to Cool Down Asdrubal Cabrera As Two Clubs Open Series at Fenway

Editor's note: The temperature gauge is a Bill James-created statistic that measures how hot or cold hitters are. We will spotlight Red Sox and opposing team temperatures on game days.

Asdrubal Cabrera has historically put up good numbers, especially power numbers against the Red Sox. Unfortunately for Boston, the Indians infielder comes into Fenway swinging a pretty hot bat.

Cabrera, who has four career home runs against the Red Sox in just 22 games, is hitting .452 (14-for-31) in his last nine games. That's helped his average climb from .290 on May 2 to .337 entering this weekend's series.

Here are the Red Sox and Indians temperatures for May 10.
