The Red Sox will look to win their first series of the (unofficial) second half Tuesday, as they meet the Seattle Mariners for the middle game of a trio at Fenway Park.
James Paxton will get the start for Boston, making a fitting return to the rotation on deadline day.
Wilyer Abreu, who will bat second, holds his spot in the lineup after his lengthy at-bat Monday kickstarted an avalanche of offense for the Red Sox. Boston will actually return the same exact order that helped produce 14 runs Monday.
Smart.
Luis Castillo will start for Seattle, looking to help the club rebound from an ugly loss that sent them down a spot in the American League Wild Card rankings.
The Red Sox and Mariners are scheduled to take the field at The Fens at 7:10 p.m. ET on NESN, following an hour of pregame coverage. We’ve got the projected lineups here.
