Red Sox Vs. Diamondbacks Lineups: Boston Tries To Avoid Series Sweep

Tanner Houck will take the mound for the hosts

The Boston Red Sox enter their series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon hoping to salvage one from the three-game set.

Boston is coming off consecutive losses at Fenway Park, including a 4-1 defeat to the D-Backs on Saturday evening.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora made a pair of changes to the lineup with Tyler O’Neil returning to his post in left field and David Hamilton back at second base.

Tanner Houck, who struck out eight in a six-inning performance against the Houston Astros last week, will take the rubber for the hosts. Arizona will counter with fellow right-hander Merrill Kelly.

First pitch from Fenway Park is scheduled at 1:35 p.m. ET, and you can watch it after an hour of pregame coverage on NESN.

Here are the lineups for both teams:
