The Red Sox on Friday continue their series against the White Sox and will hope to extend their hot streak.
Boston on Thursday handed Chicago its 14th-straight loss thanks to its explosive offense and Tanner Houck’s continued dominance.
Jamie Westbrook will continue his inspiring story as he gets the start at second base and will bat sixth behind Tyler O’Neill. Ceddanne Rafaela will pair up with him at shortstop. Rob Refsnyder and Connor Wong will move up to second and third in the order, respectively. Bobby Dalbec will get the start at first base and bat eighth in the order.
Cooper Criswell will get the start for Boston opposite Garrett Crochet. Criswell’s last start was last Saturday in a win over the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park. The right-hander struck over five batters in five innings and gave up one run off four hits.
