The Boston Red Sox will rely on one of their better batteries Thursday night as they look to bounce back against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.

Rick Porcello will take the mound for Boston in the club’s fourth and final game against the O’s. Christian Vazquez is in the lineup to catch for the right-hander.

Porcello has been the Red Sox’s most consistent starter behind Steven Wright, and although he didn’t have the best May, he still has enjoyed six quality starts in his 10 outings this season.

Vazquez will bat ninth as the Red Sox keep the rest of the batting order the same as Wednesday’s.
