The Red Sox will go for the multi-city four game sweep of the Braves tonight
without the services of DH
David Ortiz. Ortiz is out with a "calf" injury—hopefully not a euphemism for the dreaded Achilles issue. Many of us in attendance last night noticed that Ortiz walked gingerly off the field at least a couple of times. The Sox line-up is:
Brock Holt, 3B;
Xander Bogaerts, SS;
Dustin Pedroia, 2B;
A.J. Pierzynski, DH;
Jonny Gomes, LF;
Grady Sizemore, RF;
Ryan Lavarnway, 1B;
David Ross, C; and
Jackie Bradley Jr., CF.
Jake Peavy starts for
The Carmine Hose.
