Christian Arroyo is in right field for Jackie Bradley Jr. There’s a bit of shuffling going on for the Red Sox after the first four spots, with Enrique Hernández moving up to fifth while Alex Verdugo goes to sixth against the left-handed Detmers. If you’re wondering, they haven’t won three-straight yet, but we’ll worry about that another time.įor now, here are today’s lineups. If the Red Sox do capture another win today, it will mark only the third time this season they’ve won back-to-back games. So far, his results have been lacking, but opposing an underperforming pitcher hasn’t always kept the Red Sox from taking a snooze at the plate this season. The 22-year-old southpaw is the top prospect in the Angels’ system, according to FanGraphs, which might not be saying much given the state of the organization’s prospect rankings, but it still shows the potential he has. But who cares? With an 0.54 ERA, 31.3 percent strikeout rate and 6.3 percent walk rate, there’s very little to dislike about Whitlock’s performance this year. The 25-year-old right-hander has been exceptional as both a starter and a reliever, although he hasn’t pitched deep into games in the former role. Whitlock could very well repeat or exceed Wacha’s performance from yesterday. Martinez both clobbering home runs as part of the victory. Michael Wacha continued to defy his peripherals (and make me look stupid) to lead the way, with Rafael Devers and J.D. The Red Sox have had plenty of uninspiring offensive performances of their own this season, so it was nice to see them induce one from the Angels on Tuesday in a 4-0 victory. After the Red Sox silenced the offense of the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, they’ll look to do it again with Garrett Whitlock taking the hill for a 7:10 p.m.
