The Boston Red Sox will send Rick Porcello to the mound Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park as they try to take two of three games from the Chicago White Sox in their weekend series.

Porcello takes a two-game win streak into Sunday. His last outing was particularly impressive. He went 6 1/3 innings and gave up just two runs in a victory over the defending World Series champion Houston Astros.

The Red Sox have made a few changes to their lineup.

Sandy Leon replaces Christian Vazquez at catcher and will bat ninth. Mitch Moreland will play first base and bat third, and Brock Holt gets the start at second base with Eduardo Nunez getting a rest.

Here are the lineups for both teams:

BOSTON RED SOX (44-21)

Xander Bogaerts, SS
Mitch Moreland, 1B
J.D. Martinez, DH
Rafael Devers, 3B
