The Red Sox look to keep their win streak alive Wednesday night against the Reds.

Boston can make It five straight victories when it wraps up the quick two-game series against Cinncinati. The Red Sox are coming off a 5-3 win Tuesday night thanks in part to another efficient start from Brayan Bello and home runs from J.D. Martinez, Rob Refsnyder and Rafael Devers.

Connor Seabold — who officially was recalled ahead of the finale — will get the start for Boston, marking his first start for Boston since July 8 against the New York Yankees when he allowed seven earned runs on nine hits across 2 2/3 innings. It’s been a struggle for the right-hander to find a groove, but maybe he will do just that against a bad Reds team. Seabold will oppose Chase Anderson, who owns a 6.43 ERA.

As for the lineups, manager Alex Cora only is making a few changes. Reese McGuire will handle the catching duties for Seabold and bat eighth, while Triston Casas returns to the lineup playing his usual first base and batting sixth.
