- As with yesterday's game, the weather should play a huge part in this contest if it can be played at all. This afternoon's forecast for Boston is for a 100% chance of rain, with a gametime temperature in the low 50s.
Today's Lineups
Cleveland | Boston |
CF Drew Stubbs | CF Jacoby Ellsbury |
2B Mike Aviles | LF Johnny Gomes |
SS Asdrubal Cabrera | 2B Dustin Pedroia |
1B Nick Swisher | DH David Ortiz |
3B Mark Reynolds | 1B Mike Napoli |
DH Carlos Santana | RF Daniel Nava |
C Yan Gomes | C David Ross |
LF Michael Brantley | SS Jose Iglesias |
RF Ryan Raburn | 3B Pedro Ciriaco |
Quite a departure from the usual lineup, with Stubbs leading off, and Mike Aviles batting second. Ryan Raburn will play right field, which is a difficult task because of the size of the area as well as the angles.
