The Boston Red Sox are looking to come back from Monday’s tough 2-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, and this time, they’ll have help from Dustin Pedroia.
The second baseman rested during the series opener with the O’s, but he’s back in the lineup for Tuesday night’s contest at Camden Yards. Pedroia will take his usual No. 2 spot in the batting order.
Ryan Hanigan also is back in the lineup, batting eighth and catching in Blake Swihart’s stead.
Joe Kelly will start for the Red Sox, and the right-hander is looking for his ninth straight win. Kelly pitched 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball against the Toronto Blue Jays in his last outing and has a 2.59 ERA in those eight wins.
