Boston's latest hero, Daniel Nava, will get another crack at the Phillies, as the left fielder will start once again on Sunday for manager Terry Francona.
The 27-year-old switch-hitter had a pair of hits in his MLB debut on Saturday, including a grand slam in his very first at-bat.
The No. 9 batter will be hitting behind Francona's usual cast of characters with exception to Kevin Youkilis, who is taking a seat with Mike Lowell filling in at the bag.
Darnell McDonald will start in center and third baseman Adrian Beltre will be hitting ahead of David Ortiz in the cleanup spot. Victor Martinez hits in the No. 3 hole against Phils' hurler Cole Hamels. Martinez, Dustin Pedroia and J.D. Drew each have homers off Hamels in their careers.
