The Red Sox are out for revenge Friday night after being felled by a Felix Hernandez gem and a walkoff single from John Jaso. First pitch is at 10:10 p.m. EST with broadcasts on NESN and WEEI.
There is, of course, no shame in being shut down by Felix Hernandez, which is perhaps why the Red Sox have decided to stick with the same lineup they had last night against the far-less-impressive Hector Noesi. That means Jarrod Saltalamacchia behind the plate and hitting cleanup, Adrian Gonzalez batting fifth, and the still-struggling Ryan Kalish in center field batting eighth.
As for the Mariners, John Jaso's walkoff single as a pinch-hitter has earned him a start. Well, that and the .840 OPS he's put up in limited at bats this year. He'll bat fifth behind Jesus Montero and ahead of Justin Smoak.
