Red Sox Vs. Rangers Lineups: Marco Hernandez Starts At Second In Finale
The Boston Red Sox look to split their four-game series with the Texas Rangers on Thursday night at Fenway Park.
Boston stole a win from Texas on Wednesday on a walk-off walk in the ninth inning en route to its 35th win of the season.
Manager Alex Cora will make some minor adjustments to his lineup, with Marco Hernandez getting the start at second and batting ninth, meaning Brock Holt will sit. Jackie Bradley Jr. will move up a slot and bath seventh. Christian Vazquez will handle the catching duties for David Price.
The Rangers will send Adrian Sampson to the mound as Texas looks to take three out of four from Boston.
