The Red Sox fell short after a rain delay, losing in 10 innings Monday night but can earn a bounce-back win over the Rockies at Fenway Park on Tuesday.
Boston saw familiar faces from Colorado make an impact, and while players like Christian Arroyo stepped up and made big plays, it was defensive miscues that were the story Monday night.
Manager Alex Cora will switch things up in the middle matchup of the interleague series with Alex Verdugo back in his leadoff spot. Masataka Yoshida is back after one day of rest and will bat behind Verdugo.
Kiké Hernández will sit Tuesday, and Pablo Reyes will start at shortstop and bat at the bottom of the order.
