The Red Sox' offense put up eight runs on the Orioles Monday, but today they face a different kind of pitcher--one that requires a different kind of lineup.
With lefty Zach Britton on the mound, Terry Francona has opted to stack the outfield with right-handed hitters, giving J.D. Drew and Carl Crawford the day off.
The rest of the lineup, however, looks fairly standard:
Boston Red Sox (21-20)
- Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
- Dustin Pedroia, 2B
- Adrian Gonzalez, 1B
- Kevin Youkilis, 3B
- David Ortiz, DH
- Jed Lowrie, SS
- Mike Cameron, RF
- Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
- Darnell McDonald, LF
SP: Tim Wakefield (0-1, 5.40 ERA)
Baltimore Orioles (19-21)
- Robert Andino, 2B
- Nick Markakis, RF
- Adam Jones, CF
- Vladimir Guerrero, DH
- Luke Scott, LF
- Mark Reynolds, 3B
- Matt Wieters, C
- J.J. Hardy, SS
- Jake Fox, 1B
SP: Zach Britton (5-2, 2.42 ERA)
