The Red Sox have been without their full lineup for the last couple of days, but it hasn't stopped them from putting up fourteen runs in each of their last two games. While the group that manager Terry Francona will send out Friday still isn't entirely complete with J.D. Drew still resting his hamstring, it's the closest the team has been since May 23.

After a second straight 4-hit game, Carl Crawford will continue to bat sixth. If he can keep up a reasonable pace, it's hard to see anything dislodging him from that spot.
The Tigers will be relying on a rather different lineup than the one which was shut down by Alfredo Aceves on Thursday.
