The Red Sox play their final home game before the All-Star break while still waiting for any potential punishments from Tuesday’s scuffle with the Nationals. Willson Contreras, who was ejected in each of the last two games, is in Boston’s initial lineup in search of a second series victory of the homestand. Payton Tolle takes the ball for the Red Sox after seven brilliant innings over the weekend against the Yankees with just one hit allowed.
Here’s who the Red Sox
will send to the plate behind him Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park.
The Nationals counter with left-hander Andrew Alvarez, who pitched to a 3.44 ERA in his first 10 outings of the season for Washington. You can check out the Washington lineup here.
