Three Highlights from Tonight’s Game Against the Angels
-
Starting Pitcher: Patrick Sandoval
- Patrick Sandoval will take the mound for the Red Sox. Notably, Brayan Bello pitched yesterday, and Jake Bennett could have started on normal rest tonight. However, Bennett is pushed back to start tomorrow, impacting the rotation. This raises questions about Friday’s starter, which could play a role in the Wild Card Series scheduled for September 29th.
-
Angels’ Starter: Reid Detmers
- Reid Detmers will start for the Angels, giving the Red Sox an opportunity to stack their lineup with right-hand batters. Jarren Duran and Mickey Gasper are sidelined for tonight, while Andruw Monasterio will DH.
-
Roman Anthony Starts in Left Field
- Roman Anthony, who has been back from the IL since August 30, will start in left field for the first time since spring. This is significant as it suggests a move towards establishing him in his long-term position.
