Red Sox Vs. Cubs Lineups: Justin Turner Starts At Second Base

The Boston Red Sox visit Wrigley Field for just the fourth series in franchise history to open a three-game set with the Chicago Cubs on Friday.

Boston enters the series on a five-game winning streak and most recently swept the Oakland Athletics at Fenway Park prior to the All-Star break. The Cubs have won their last two series against the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees.

Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello takes the ball on Friday while the Cubs counter with right-hander Kyle Hendricks.

Justin Turner makes a rare appearance at second base, with both Christian Arroyo and Kiké Hernández getting the night off. Turner will bat third in the Boston order.

First pitch is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. ET and you can watch the game live on NESN after an hour of pregame coverage.
