Lars Anderson Returns to Lineup for First Start in Four Games

Lars Anderson will be in the Red Sox starting lineup for the first time in six days when they take on the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.

The 22-year-old rookie has appeared only once as a defensive replacement since going 1-for-3 with a walk in Boston's win at Seattle last Wednesday. He can take a cue from several veteran Red Sox hitters on how to approach Baltimore starter Brad Bergesen.

Marco Scutaro, J.D. Drew, David Ortiz and Adrian Beltre are a combined 22-for-60 (.367) with five home runs and 11 RBIs off Bergesen, who is coming off a complete game win against Toronto.

The rest of Boston's batting order is 1-for-14 against Bergesen.

Here is the complete lineup in support of righty Clay Buchholz:

Marco Scutaro, 2B
J.D. Drew, RF
Victor Martinez, C
David Ortiz, DH
Adrian Beltre, 3B
Jed Lowrie, SS
Ryan Kalish, CF
Daniel Nava, LF
Lars Anderson, 1B

The orioles will start like this behind Brad Bergensen:

Brian Roberts, 2B
Nick Markakis, RF
Ty Wigginton, 1B
Luke Scott, DH
Matt Wieters, C
Adam Jones, CF
Felix Pie, LF
Robert Andino, 3B
Cesar Izturis, SS
