Thanks to a bizarre walk-off bunt/error, the Cleveland Indians took Game 1 of their series against the Boston Red Sox.
The Sox will look to put the tough loss behind them Tuesday night at Progressive Field with right-hander Doug Fister on the mound.
Fister already has started twice against Cleveland this season, including in his last outing Aug. 14, during which he allowed five earned runs over 4 1/3 innings. But he also had one of his best performances of the season when he allowed just two earned runs over 7 2/3 innings against the Tribe on July 31.
Mitch Moreland also will return for the Red Sox, starting at first base and batting seventh, and Sandy Leon will start at catcher and hit eighth.
Here are the complete lineups for Tuesday’s Red Sox vs. Indians game.
