BOSTON — Left-handed batter Wilyer Abreu , one of Boston's hottest hitters, is not in the starting lineup against Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga here Friday. The Red Sox and Cubs will play at 7:10 p.m. at Fenway Park. Boston is returning from a 4-2 road trip. It swept a three-game series at Pittsburgh, then lost two of three games at Cleveland . Abreu is batting .307 with a .389 on-base percentage, .516 slugging percentage and .905 OPS in 72 plate appearances. He went 12-for-24 with two homers and four doubles on the six-game road trip but he mainly starts against right-handers. He has taken only 10 at-bats against left-handed pitchers this year. Jarren Duran will play center field and lead off. Rob
After Boston scored two runs in the third and twice in the sixth to pull within 5-4, Ramírez added an insurance run in the seventh by singling, stealing second, advancing on an error by McGuire, and scoring on a passed ball.
The Guardians have the best record in baseball at 17-6, and are looking to continue their hot streak against the Red Sox Wednesday night.
