The game is rescheduled. From MLB.com:

BOSTON -- During the team's four-game slide through Minnesota and Baltimore, the Red Sox struggled to find their offensive rhythm.

Two reasons why were the injuries to J.D. Drew (left wrist) and Julio Lugo (mild concussion). Both were cleared to return in time for Friday's Interleague opener with Milwaukee. Unfortunately, neither saw action as the game was rained out, forcing a split doubleheader on Saturday with 3:55 p.m. ET and 8:35 p.m. first pitches.

"Lugo was cleared yesterday, so he's all set to go, and J.D. talked to the trainers and said he felt good," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona, who was back in the dugout after missing Boston's two-game series vs. the Orioles due to the death of his mother-in-law. "We checked back with [Drew] today, and [he] said he was ready to go, so that's good news."

...

Meanwhile, Coco Crisp (stomach ailment), was on the mend but not quite ready to go at full strength.

"He was checked this morning and everything they looked for, kidney stones and things, everything was negative," Francona said. "He feels better. I don't think he feels terrific. Whatever happened to him hit him pretty hard. He doesn't feel like he's going to get sick, but I don't think he feels 100 percent yet, but he is getting better."

Game 1 Pitching matchup

BOS: RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (6-0, 2.45)
Matsuzaka is looking for his seventh win in eight starts this season. After a season-high eight walks on May 5 in Detroit, Matsuzaka settled down last Saturday in Minnesota and issued three over his seven innings, allowing six hits and two runs while earning his second win of the month. The right-hander will look to become the fourth Red Sox hurler this decade to start a season 7-0, joining Josh Beckett (9-0 in 2007), John Burkett (7-0, 2002) and Pedro Martinez (7-0, 2002).

MIL: RHP Jeff Suppan (2-2, 4.63)
Suppan will be facing the team with which he broke into the Major Leagues in 1995 and spent parts of three seasons, going 7-9 with a 6.10 ERA in 29 outings at Fenway Park. He will hope for better results as the Brewers begin Interleague Play and is coming off one of his best starts this season, a seven-inning, one-run performance against the Cardinals at Miller Park. The win snapped Suppan's two-game losing streak.
