The Boston Red Sox on Wednesday will begin the surprisingly monumental task of splitting a four-game series with the Detroit Tigers.
Alex Cora’s club squandered any momentum gained from a sweep in Tampa Bay by dropping both games of a day-night doubleheader with the Tigers on Tuesday. The Red Sox will turn to Eduardo Rodriguez on Wednesday for the third contest of the four-game set at Fenway Park.
The Tigers will counter with right-hander Tyson Ross.
As for the lineups, rookie Michael Chavis will play second base and bat seventh in his fourth consecutive start. Christian Vazquez will bat ninth and handle catching duties for Rodriguez.
