Martinez Out of Lineup, Varitek Catching Lester
The ever-changing list better known as the Red Sox lineup once again has a new look on Tuesday night, as Victor Martinez will start the night on the bench.
In his place, J.D. Drew will move into the third spot in the lineup after batting eighth on Monday night. In that game, Drew went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in his final at-bat.
Jason Varitek will get the start behind the plate with Jon Lester on the mound, while Mike Lowell will start at third base and Kevin Youkilis will start at first.
