With a pair of games on Wednesday, the Red Sox were forced to play the break-up game, as half the squad shot up to Dunedin to take on the Blue Jays while Jon Lester and some of the younger guys stayed back in Fort Myers to take on the Twins at Hammond Stadium, across town from JetBlue Park.
Below are the lineups for the Dunedin affair, compliments of Didier Morais.
