The Red Sox will take on the Orioles in the first game of a three-game set Monday night as they try and return to .500. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. EST, with broadcasts on NESN and WEEI.
Che-Hsuan Lin will get his first career start in the MLB in right field. It's an odd place to put Lin, given his incredible defense and the...often adventurous nature with Marlon Byrd in center. The Sox will have to hope Byrd's familiarity in center and Lin's big arm will make up the difference in utilizing their range.
