Red Sox lineup: Jackie Bradley Jr. back in center

Share

Jackie Bradley Jr. is back in center field against Houston Astros right-hander Corbin Martin (1-0, 3.38 ERA) as the Red Sox look to bounce back from a 3-1 loss Friday in the second of their weekend, three-game series at Fenway Park (7:15 p.m., FOX) against the team they beat in the ALCS.

It's again been a struggle at the plate this season for Bradley, who has followed an April where he hit .148 with a 5-for-30 (.167) May that's not much better, though he does have hits in three of his past four games.

Hector Velazquez (1-2, 3.95 ERA), coming off a season-high five-inning start against the Mariners on Mother's Day, is on the mound for Boston.

Here's the Red Sox lineup (we'll add the Astros when it's released):
