Red Sox Lineup For Wednesday Gives Jahmai Jones Another Chance Near Top Of Order
The Red Sox will look to even the series against Cleveland.
The Boston Red Sox have secured a postseason berth, and now their offense must perform well for the October run. On Wednesday, the Red Sox face the Cleveland Guardians, coming off a three-game losing streak where they have scored two runs or fewer in each match. With Roman Anthony leading off and Adley Rutschman batting fifth, Jahmai Jones, a right-handed hitter, is placed third in the order, between Nick Sogard and Wilyer Abreu.
This placement offers Jones a better chance to secure a significant postseason role. Trevor Story leads the Red Sox's defense at third base, while Andruw Monasterio is at second base. Starting pitcher Sonny Gray will take the mound for Boston against Guardians' left-hander Foster Griffin. The Red Sox need to turn things around after dropping five of their last seven games.
