The Boston Red Sox can sweep their final interleague series of the season when they host the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.
Boston has made only one change to the lineup that beat Philadelphia 9-2 on Saturday. Ryan Hanigan will start at catcher and bat seventh. He replaces Blake Swihart, who went 2 for 4 on Saturday.
Eduardo Rodriguez will take the mound for the Sox. He picked up his eighth win of the season in his previous outing Aug. 31 against the New York Yankees. The 22-year-old gave up one earned run and seven hits, while striking out four over five innings. This is his first career start against the Phillies.
Phillies slugger Ryan Howard will start on the bench for the second straight game.
