With a win Sunday afternoon, the Boston Red Sox would improve to a season-high eight games over .500. They also would complete a series sweep, an alarming rarity for the 2019 version of the Red Sox.
Boston will take on the Detroit Tigers in the finale of a three-game set at Comerica Park. Alex Cora will send lefty David Price to the hill, while Detroit will counter with left-hander Gregory Soto.
As for the lineups, Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez both will return after sitting out Saturday’s game. Elsewhere, Andrew Benintendi will bat fifth a day after recording four hits while red-hot Marco Hernandez will bat ninth and play second base.
Christian Vazquez will handle the catching duties for Price.
