Tuesday's Red Sox-Rays lineups: Benintendi back in left, Buchholz on mound

Share

A night after his spectacular catch in left field that took a home run away from the Rays’ Scott Souza, rookie Andrew Benintendi is back in the Red Sox lineup, batting ninth and playing left, as they continue their four-game series against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

The Red Sox won the series opener Monday, 6-2, with help from Benintendi’s catch and David Price’s pitching. 

Clay Buchholz gets another start in place of Steven Wright (right shoulder) for Boston. Buchholz (4-9, 5.42 ERA) is coming off a strong six-inning start in a 4-3 loss in Detroit on Thursday in his previous start.

Right-hander Chris Archer (7-16, 4.18) will try to avoid his 17th loss for the Rays.
