Yoan Moncada makes his first major league start and Rick Porcello goes for his 19th win as the Red Sox continue their series in Oakland tonight.
Moncada, the Red Sox' No. 1 prospect, made his major league debut Friday night in a 16-2 Red Sox romp in the series opener. He'll play third base and bat eighth tonight after he pinch hit and came in to play third, going 0-for-1 with a walk, a strikeout and a run scored Friday.
Porcello (18-3, 3.26 ERA) is opposed by A's right-hander Daniel Mengden (1-5, 5.73).
