Josh Reddick and Yamaico Navarro get rare starts for the Red Sox when they finish a six-game homestand against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Reddick will be in left field and batting eighth. It is the fourth time all season he has started in left. Navarro earns his fifth start at shortstop and will bat ninth.

Although Orioles starter Kevin Millwood has enjoyed his time in Fenway Park (4-1, 2.90 ERA), a handful of Red Sox veterans have some good numbers against him. Mike Lowell is a .328 (21-for-64) hitter against Millwood, J.D. Drew is at .324 (11-for-34), David Ortiz .333 (9-for-27) and Victor Martinez .353 (6-for-17).

Ryan Kalish, who has never faced Millwood, is batting leadoff for the third time this year as Marco Scutaro gets a night off.

Here is the complete batting order for Boston:

Ryan Kalish, CF
J.D. Drew, RF
Victor Martinez, C
David Ortiz, DH
Adrian Beltre, 3B
Mike Lowell, 1B
Bill Hall, 2B
Josh Reddick, LF
Yamaico Navarro, SS
