The Red Sox are aiming to secure yet another series victory over the Sacramento Athletics on Thursday at Sutter Health Park.
Boston has been superb recently, having put itself in a position to win a seventh consecutive series with its torrid 23-5 stretch through July.
Sonny Gray will toe the rubber after perhaps his worst start of the season, having allowed five runs his last time out against the Toronto Blue Jays on July
25. It’s expected that he’ll be able to bounce back since… well, he’s done it time and time again. Red Sox manager Chad Tracy has made a couple of changes, adding Anthony Seigler, Masataka Yoshida, and Jarren Duran to the fold while benching Jahmai Jones, Romy Gonzalez, and Nick Sogard.
Mason Barnett will look to get things on the right track for the A’s.
Nick Kurtz will return to the lineup after exiting early on Wednesday.
The Red Sox will move on to play the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend, with the series beginning Friday at Dodger Stadium.
