Tuesday’s Red Sox-Orioles lineups: Pedroia sits, Betts leads off

Dustin Pedroia gets the night off and Mookie Betts moves to the leadoff spot as the Red Sox look to extend their winning streak to six in the second of their four-game series against the Orioles in Baltimore.

Marco Hernandez starts at second in place of Pedroia and bats ninth. Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (2-7, 4.98 ERA) is on the mound for Boston. He’s coming off a 2 1/3-inning start Thursday night against the Yankees in which he allowed four runs on eight hits.

Right-hander Kevin Gausman (8-10, 3.43) pitches for the Orioles. He handed the Red Sox their last loss, a 1-0 Orioles’ victory last Wednesday in which he he held Boston to four hits.

The Red Sox lead the Orioles and Blue Jays by four games in the A.L. East with 11 to play. Their magic number for clinching the division title is nine.
