The Boston Red Sox will aim for back-to-back victories over the Philadelphia Phillies when the clubs meet Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.
Boston has made a few changes to the lineup that beat Philadelphia 7-5 on Friday night.
Blake Swihart will start at catcher and bat seventh. Allen Craig, who started at first base and went 0 for 4 on Friday, will be on the bench. Travis Shaw will play first base and bat fifth, Brock Holt will play third and bat second and Josh Rutledge will start at second and bat eighth.
Pablo Sandoval is out of the lineup for the second straight day. The veteran third baseman was a late scratch Friday after suffering mid-back tightness in batting practice.
