The Red Sox will look to get back on track Wednesday at Fenway Park.
Boston had its three-game winning streak snapped Tuesday night when the San Francisco Giants earned an extra-innings victory in the opener of this three-game set. The Red Sox will send righty Jhoulys Chacin to the mound for Wednesday night’s middle game, while the Giants will counter with veteran righty Jeff Samardzija. Chacin hasn’t allowed a run in 5 2/3 innings since joining the Red Sox.
As for the lineups, Mookie Betts (foot) and J.D. Martinez (groin) both will sit. Brock Holt will take over in right field while Christian Vazquez will start the game as the designated hitter.
