The Red Sox are headed to the land of Starbucks, and Boston fans might need some extra coffee to stay up for another West Coast game.
The Red Sox’s 11-game West Coast swing started with a series split against the Los Angeles Angels thanks to Dustin Pedroia’s heroics. Now Boston begins another four-game set against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field on Monday night.
Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez gets the start for Boston, as he looks to continue to improve in the second half of the season. Rodriguez was sent to Triple-A Pawtucket after a disastrous June outing against the Tampa Bay Rays, but he’s 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA since returning to the big leagues.
Boston will trot out almost the same lineup as Sunday, minus a catcher switch. Sandy Leon will be behind the plate to catch Rodriguez.
Here are both lineups for Monday’s game, which is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET:
