Red Sox Vs. Mets Lineups: Ceddanne Rafaela, Tyler O’Neill Start
The Red Sox suffered a disappointing loss Sunday but will look to turn the page as they head to New York to face the Mets.
Boston lost, 4-1, to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park after Coopper Criswell was pulled following four perfect innings and the offense went cold again.
Ceddanne Rafaela and Tyler O'Neill didn't play Sunday due to rest, but they'll be back in the lineup at shortstop and left field, respectively, to try to give the Red Sox a boost. Enmanuel Valdez, who was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, will start alongside Rafaela at second base.
Brayan Bello will toe the rubber for Boston opposite Mets starter Luis Severino.
First pitch for Red Sox-Mets at Citi Field is scheduled at 7:10 p.m. ET, and you can catch full coverage on NESN after an hour of pregame.
