After taking two of three on the road against the White Sox, a team that had previously left them snakebitten, the Red Sox return to Fenway Park for a series against the Indians.
The Indians, who were aggressive at the trade deadline, pencil one of their recent additions, right fielder Kosuke Fukudome, into their lineup Monday. The Red Sox, who kept their core intact at the deadline, trot out their usual lineup with Jacoby Ellsbury leading off, followed by Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez, Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m.
The Indians send Josh Tomlin (11-5, 4.01 ERA) to the mound. John Lackey (9-8, 6.20) starts for the AL East-leading Red Sox with Jarrod Saltalamacchia catching.
