Saturday's Red Sox-Blue Jays lineups: Young in LF, Hill at 3B vs. lefty Happ

Share

Right-handed hitters Chris Young (left field) and Aaron Hill (third base) get starts Saturday afternoon (1:07 p.m.) against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ as the Red Sox look to make it two wins in a row in Toronto.

The Red Sox rolled 13-3 Friday night to extend their American League East lead over the Jays to two games.

Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (2-6, 4.83 ERA) is on the mound for Boston. He's coming off a start in Oakland where he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning in an eventual 1-0 loss.  

Happ (17-4, 3.34 ERA) has emerged as the Jays ace and a Cy Young Award candidate, but he's coming off his shortest outing of the season (2 2/3 innings in a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay last Sunday).
