David Price has been untouchable lately, but his winning streak came to a halt last time out.
Now, the left-hander will look to get back on track as the Boston Red Sox open up a three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park on Tuesday.
Up until a loss last Wednesday to the Minnesota Twins, the Sox had grabbed a win in each of Price’s previous seven starts, with the southpaw posting a 6-0 record and 2.64 ERA while holding opposing hitters to a .205 average in those contests.
Boston is catching the Angels at a good time, as Anaheim has lost each of its last three games.
The Red Sox will roll out a typical lineup, with Christian Vazquez catching Price. Anaheim will send out John Lamb to handle the pitching.
Here are the lineups for both teams:
RED SOX (52-27)
Mookie Betts, RF
Andrew Benintendi, LF
J.D. Martinez, DH
Xander Bogaerts, SS
Mitch Moreland, 1B
