The Red Sox lineup will be the same — top to bottom — as it was on Saturday, with Ryan Sweeney leading off and Mike Aviles once again batting ninth.

Daniel Nava will also get the start for a fourth straight game. Since being called up to Boston on Thursday, Nava is 4-for-8 with four walks in 12 plate appearances. He went 2-for-3 with a run scored on Saturday.

For the Indians, Johnny Damon will be back in the lineup after getting the night off on Saturday. He was 2-for-11 through the first two games of the series, and his season average currently sits at .171 (7-for-41).

Daniel Bard takes the ball for the Red Sox, while Justin Masterson gets the nod for Cleveland.

Masterson always seems to pitch well against the Red Sox. The righty is 3-0 with a 1.95 ERA in four career starts against his former club.

Nick Punto will not only get his first start as a member of the Sox, but he'll be leading off, which will result in Jacoby Ellsbury sliding to the No. 2 spot.

Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez will each shift down a spot as well, hitting third and fourth, respectively, against Tigers right-hander Max Scherzer.

Darnell McDonald and Kelly Shoppach will also receive starts, while Clay Buchholz will toe the rubber as Boston seeks its first win of 2012.

Lester is 4-1 with a 1.22 ERA in five career starts against Kansas City, which includes his 2008 no-hitter. He has yet to face the Royals this season, though.

Going up against Lester and the Sox will be right-hander Kyle Davies, who is in the midst of a dismal season. He enters Monday's matchup at 1-9 with a 7.32 ERA. He is 2-0 with a 4.50 ERA in three career starts against the Red Sox.

The Sox will send out a common lineup against Davies and Co. on Monday night. It will mark the fifth straight game that the lineup hasn't changed outside of the catcher's spot at No. 8.

Josh Reddick, who has likely become the team's everyday right fielder because of his performance this season and J.D. Drew's most recent injury, will bat seventh.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who is swinging a hot bat to start the second half of the season, will be Lester's catcher in the lefty's return, while Marco Scutaro rounds out the order in the nine hole.

The Sox have dominated the Orioles in the first two games of their four-game set, outscoring them 20-7. It will be particularly interesting to see whether there is any lingering bad blood a day after the two teams engaged in a bench-clearing brawl.

Lackey has had a rough season so far, but facing the O's could be an opportunity for him to get back on track. The right-hander is 10-4 with a 3.05 ERA in 17 career starts against the Orioles.

He'll be opposed by Alfredo Simon, who will be making his first start this season and only the fourth of his big league career. The 30-year-old has primarily been used as a reliever during his time in the majors.

The Sox lineup will look a bit different than it did on Friday night. The first five hitters remain in place, but the bottom of the order will have a new look.

Josh Reddick will return to the starting lineup as the team's left fielder. He started on the bench Friday night, but later entered the game and hit an RBI triple in the eighth inning.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia will be back behind the plate on Saturday, one day after being ejected despite not starting the game, and J.D. Drew will return to right field.

Marco Scutaro, who batted seventh on Friday, will bat ninth against Simon and the O's on Saturday.

Check out the lineups for both teams below.

On Sunday, the Sox scored 14 runs on 17 hits, which is a major reason manager Terry Francona has elected to come back with the same lineup for the Sox' series opener against the Rays on Tuesday.

Marco Scutaro will get his second consecutive start at shortstop and will bat ninth. In his career, he is hitting .255 off James Shields, who is slated to start for the Rays.

Shields is 5-4 with a 2.85 ERA this season, but is 5-9 with a 5.17 ERA in his career against the Red Sox.

This series marks the first time that left fielder Carl Crawford will return to Tropicana Field, a place he called home for nine seasons. He's never faced Shields in his career.

Tim Wakefield takes the ball for the Sox. He enters Tuesday's game with a 21-6 career record against the Rays, to go along with a 3.78 ERA. The 21 wins are the most Wakefield, who is four wins shy of 200, has had against any one team in his career.

Here is what Tuesday's lineups look like.

This will mark the second time this season that Lackey and left-hander Brian Matusz have gone against each other. The Red Sox won their first matchup 7-6 after Jonathan Papelbon closed the door on a ninth inning rally by the Orioles. Kevin Youkilis hit a three-run homer in that game.

Youk has roped two home runs in the past two nights, as Orioles pitching has struggled to find an answer for the potential All-Star.

Can Matusz do something that the other Orioles starters couldn’t do?

When and Where

Red Sox (33-24) at Orioles (15-41)
Sunday, June 6, 1:35 p.m.
Camden Yards, Baltimore

Head to Head

The Sox have won 10 of their last 11 season series and are 4-4 against the Orioles this season.

Pitching Matchup

RHP John Lackey (6-3, 4.95 ERA) vs. LHP Brian Matusz (2-6, 5.28 ERA)

John Lackey is coming off of back-to-back wins over Tampa Bay and Oakland. In his last start, Lackey went six innings and gave up four runs on 12 hits and picked up the win.

In his career against the Orioles, Lackey is 9-3 with a 3.17 ERA in 14 career starts. All three of those losses have come while playing at Camden Yards, which is where Sunday’s game takes place.

Lackey is 1-0 with 3.21 ERA against Baltimore in two starts this season.

On April 24, he picked up a win over the Orioles after pitching seven innings and giving up two runs on 10 hits.

On April 29, he also pitched seven innings and gave up two earned runs on six hits and received a no decision.

The 23-year-old Brian Matusz has lost his last six decisions after winning his first two of 2010. He pitched well in his last outing, giving up only one earned run to the New York Yankees over 6 2/3 innings, but suffered the loss.

In his only career start against the Red Sox, Matusz opposed Lackey in the April 24 matchup at Fenway Park. He allowed three runs on six hits over six innings, receiving a no decision.

LINEUPS

Stat Sheet

Red Sox

• Marco Scutaro is hitting .405 in his last nine games (17-for-42).
• Kevin Youkilis has homered in back-to-back games and is 5-for-10
  with six RBIs in the series. In his career against Baltimore, he now has
  17 home runs and 65 RBIs, the most he has against any team in the
  majors.
• John Lackey is 2-2 with a 4.22 ERA on the road this season.

Orioles

• The Orioles have left 30 men on base in the two games this series.
• Ty Wigginton, whose 13 home runs are among the AL’s best, has not homered in 11 games.
• Nick Markakis, who has driven in over 100 runs in two of the last three seasons, only has 17 RBIs in 54 games this season.

Black and Blue

Red Sox

• Outfielder Jeremy Hermida, who left Friday’s game with a bruised left forearm, received a CT scan on Saturday and it was revealed that there was no damage.
• Outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury is in Baltimore with the team, but is on the 15-day disabled list with rib soreness, retroactive to May 25.
• Outfielder Mike Cameron missed his fourth consecutive game on Saturday as he continues to recover from an abdominal strain.
• Starter Josh Beckett is still recovering from a back injury, and it could be 10 days before he resumes baseball activities.
• Pitcher Boof Bonser’s 30-day rehab stint following a groin injury is over. He pitched a scoreless inning Saturday in Triple-A Pawtucket and could appear in the Sox bullpen on Sunday. If not, he may be designated for assignment and lost to another major league club.
• Jed Lowrie was on the field at Fenway Park last week, but he continues to battle mononucleosis.

Orioles

• Second baseman Brian Roberts was expected to play in an extended spring training game on Friday, but suffered a minor setback. On the DL since April 10, Roberts is still expected to return later this month.
• Closer Mike Gonzalez threw a bullpen session this week and could return in a couple of weeks.
• Outfielder Felix Pie is expected to be out until July with a torn muscle in his back
• Reliever Alfredo Simon is on the DL with a strained left hamstring, and is eligible to return on Tuesday.

Outlook

John Lackey has been inconsistent in 2010 thus far, but he has a chance to give the Red Sox a sweep of the Orioles on Sunday.

Jon Lester turned in another solid performance for the Red Sox on Saturday, marking the second consecutive game that a Red Sox starter did not let up a run. Clay Buchholz pitched a complete game shutout on Friday night, and Lester pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings on Saturday.

With the Red Sox swinging the bats well, and the inconsistent Brian Matusz on the mound, there is no reason to believe the Sox won’t complete the sweep.

The Red Sox have scored at least six runs in six straight games, and are now 22-10 over their last 32 games, while the Orioles’ season-long woes continue.

How will the Red Sox follow up Clay Buchholz’s complete game gem on Friday night? Well, if the past is any indication, we should expect more of the same.

Jon Lester was not only lights out in May, but he has been lights out throughout his career against the Orioles. His will be trying to improve to a perfect 11-0 against the O’s and will look to start off the month of June on a good note.

Life has been good recently for the Red Sox. Despite a minor setback in a split to the Kansas City Royals, the Sox have rebounded by taking two of three over the Oakland Athletics and the first game of a three-game series against the Orioles, 11-0

The reason?

Everything seems to be clicking. The Red Sox starters are dealing, and the offense is beginning to score runs.

Jeremy Guthrie will have the tall task of cooling down the Sox on Saturday.

When and Where

Red Sox (32-24) at Orioles (15-40)
Saturday, June 5, 7:05 p.m.
Camden Yards, Baltimore

Head to Head

The Sox have won 10 of the last 11 season series. The Red Sox are 3-4 against the Orioles this season.

Pitching Matchup

LHP Jon Lester (6-2, 2.97 ERA) vs. RHP Jeremy Guthrie (3-5, 3.84 ERA)

Lester has been fantastic of late. After dropping his first two decisions of 2010, Lester has gone an undefeated 6-0 since. In May, he was 5-0 with a minuscule 1.84 ERA, dropping his season ERA from 4.71 to 2.97. He has also struck out nine batters or more in three of his last four outings.

Throughout his career, Lester has dominated the Orioles, to say the least.

In 13 career starts against the O’s, Lester is 10-0 with a 2.22 ERA.

Guthrie enters Saturday’s game having won three of his last four decisions. The 31-year-old’s eight quality starts this season has him tied for third in the AL in that category.

In 12 career starts against the Red Sox, Guthrie is 1-5 with a 4.72 ERA.

Lester and Guthrie already faced off earlier in the season on April 23. Lester pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings against the Orioles, allowing only four hits, but received a no decision. Guthrie pitched six innings, allowing three runs on five hits, and also received a no decision. The Red Sox won the game 4-3, after Adrian Beltre walked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning.

• Outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury is in Baltimore with the team, but is on the 15-day disabled list with rib soreness, retroactive to May 25.
• Outfielder Mike Cameron missed his third consecutive game on Friday as he continues to recover from an abdominal strain. He was feeling much better, though, and may have been used as a pinch hitter had the game been close.
• Starter Josh Beckett is still recovering from a back injury, and it could be 10 days before he resumes baseball activities.
• Pitcher Boof Bonser’s 30-day rehab stint following a groin injury ends soon. He is continuing to pitch at Triple-A Pawtucket.

Stat Sheet

Red Sox

• After only two home runs in his first 213 at-bats, shortstop Marco Scutaro has homered in back-to-back games. He is hitting .405 in his last eight games (15-for-37).
• Catcher Victor Martinez has had two or more hits in his last three starts, including three on Friday, and has seen his average rise to the highest it’s been since the second game of the season (.294)
• First baseman Kevin Youkilis’ home run on Friday was his 16th career home run against the Baltimore Orioles. His 16 home runs and 62 RBIs against the O’s are his most against any team in the majors.

Orioles

• Starter Jeremy Guthrie only has one win in 12 career starts against the Red Sox.
• Miguel Tejada’s last home run was against the Red Sox on April 30, a stretch of 32 games and 126 at-bats.
• Ty Wigginton has more home runs (12) against the Red Sox in his career than any other team. His 13 on the season has him tied for fourth in the AL.

Outlook

Red Sox starters have been terrific lately. They have lasted at least six innings in the last six games, which has allowed the bullpen to receive its necessary rest. Jon Lester, along with Friday night’s starter Clay Buchholz, has been leading the charge. After losing two of his first three starts and seeing his ERA skyrocket to 8.44, Lester has bounced back in a big way and now looks poised to make a bid at his first All-Star appearance.

The Red Sox are 21-10 over their last 31 games, and appear to be clicking on all cylinders. With the Orioles in the midst of their worst start since 1988, and Lester pitching the way he is, the Red Sox certainly have the advantage heading into the second game of this three game series at Camden Yards — the Red Sox home away from home.
