First Pitch: 4:10 p.m. ET
The Red Sox and Braves will compete in the rubber match of their three-game series on Thursday at Fenway Park.
Payton Tolle and Chris Sale will be the men tasked with getting the job done.
I don’t have to tell you guys just how fun this matchup could be, with the former riding an incredible streak of four consecutive quality starts into the outing, while the latter has allowed six total earned runs across his last seven starts. Tolle and Sale both had an opportunity
to meet each other on Wednesday.
Andruw Monasterio, Carlos Narváez, and Caleb Durbin will slot back into the lineup, with the former getting the start as the designated hitter over Masataka Yoshida. Narváez will return behind the dish, while Durbin plays third base.
Sandy León and Dom Smith will join their starting pitcher as former members of the Red Sox to return to Fenway Park.
I’ll be betting the under on total runs and over on total strikeouts, in case you were wondering…
