In Anaheim, California, the Red Sox are facing a shakeup in their lineup as rookie David Hamilton steps in at shortstop, filling in for the sidelined Trevor Story.
This adjustment comes as the Red Sox gear up for the decisive game against the Angels at Angel Stadium, with first pitch scheduled for 4:07 p.m. Eastern time.
As the curtain falls on their 10-game West Coast journey, the Red Sox aim to cap it off on a high note, currently boasting a commendable 6-3 record thus far.
Hamilton, who battled through a torn ligament in his thumb last season, gets the nod after a stint with Triple-A Worcester, where he showed promise with two homers in five games. Despite his limited MLB experience, the 26-year-old’s speed and defensive prowess add depth to the Red Sox roster.
On the mound, right-hander Tanner Houck takes the hill for Boston, seeking to maintain his spotless record against Los Angeles’ Chase Silseth, who aims to bounce back after a rocky start.
The Red Sox batting order features a mix of seasoned veterans and rising stars, with Jarren Duran leading off followed by stalwarts like Rafael Devers and Tyler O’Neill.
For fans tuning in, the game will be broadcasted on NESN, providing ample opportunities to catch the action live, whether through traditional cable or various streaming platforms.
