The Boston Red Sox have a chance to win their third straight game Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
Alex Cora’s club will host Terry Francona’s Cleveland Indians for Game 2 of a three-game set. The Red Sox overcame an early 3-0 deficit Monday afternoon to pick up a 12-5 win in the series opener.
David Price will get the ball looking to rebound from his last start, which ended after just 15 pitches when the left-hander exited with flu-like symptoms. Cleveland will counter with righty Zach Plesac, who will make his Major League Baseball debut.
As for the lineups, Andrew Benintendi will begin the game on the bench with Brock Holt getting the start in left field. Red-hot Rafael Devers will start at third and bat second, while rookie infielder Michael Chavis will hit fifth.
