Game 7: Red Sox at Orioles lineups and notesBy Andrew Mahoney Globe Staff,Updated April 8, 2021, 1 hour ago Fresh off their sweep over the Rays at Fenway Park, the Red Sox hit the road for a three-game series with Baltimore, taking on the Orioles this afternoon in the home opener at Camden Yards. Eduardo Rodriguez, who turned 28 yesterday, will make his first start since 2019. He missed the 2020 season due to complications from COVID-19, when he was diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. Lineups RED SOX (3-3): 1. Enrique Hernandez (R) CF 2. Alex Verdugo (L) RF 3. J.D. Martinez (R) DH 4. Rafael Devers (L) 3B 5. Christian Vazquez (R) C 6. Marwin Gonzalez (S) SS 7. Christian Arroyo (R) 2B 8. Franchy Cordero (L) LF 9. Bobby Dalbec (R) 1B Pitching: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (19-6, 3.81 ERA in 2019) ORIOLES (4-2): 1. Cedric Mullins (L) CF 2. Trey Mancini (R) 1B 3. Anthony Santander (S) RF 4. Ryan Mountcastle (R) LF 5. Maikel Franco (R) DH 6. Pedro Severino (R) C 7. Freddy Galvis (S) SS 8. Rio Ruiz (L) 3B 9. Pat Valaika (R) 2B Pitching: RHP Matt Harvey (0-0, 3.86, ERA) Time: 3:05 p.m. TV, radio: NESN, WEEI-FM 93.7 Red Sox vs. Harvey: Bogaerts 2-5, Cordero 1-4, Dalbec 0-2, Devers 0-2, Gonzalez 2-5, Hernández 0-2, Martinez 3-3, Plawecki 1-2, Renfroe 2-5, Verdugo 0-3 Orioles vs. Rodriguez: Franco 0-2, Galvis 1-7, Mancini 10-31, Mullins 0-2, Ruiz 0-1, Santander 0-6, Severino 3-8 Stat of the day: Of the 20 seasons in which the Red Sox started 0-3, this is only the second time they rebounded to win their next three games, with the first time happening in 1951. Notes: Red Sox starting pitchers have allowed three runs or fewer over five-plus innings in 5 of their 6 starts this season … This is the first season since 1992 that the Red Sox have not allowed a home run in any of their first six games … J.D. Martinez’s 11 RBI are the most by a player through the Red Sox’ first six games since 1955, when Faye Throneberry (12) and Sammy White (11) each did so … Xander Bogaerts is 8-for-12 (.750) with four runs, a double, two RBI, and a walk in the last three games … Kiké Hernández has reached base safely in each of his five starts this season. … Harvey starts the home opener for the Orioles after going 4 ⅔ innings in his debut with Baltimore last week at Fenway Park.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 3m Rafael Devers on Trey Mancini, who debuts at Camden Yards this afternoon with the Orioles -- 'I'm really happy for him obviously. We all know the battle he went through.'
'It's really great to see him back on the field.' #RedSox

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 16m Marwin Gonzalez with his second start at shortstop since the start of 2019.
Rafael Devers says he’s trying to improve his plate discipline and pitch recognition, but feels good about his swing and isn’t sweating poor offensive results through six games.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 6m Devers on his good friend Eduardo Rodriguez, who starts today for the first time since September 2019 -- 'He's always making jokes, always making us laugh. He's always a good time.'
Said Rodriguez will help in the clubhouse as much as on the mound. #RedSox
Devers on being back in the clubhouse/dugout together this season -- 'Being able to be with the guys and to have those conversations, it changes everything. It changes the dynamic.' #RedSox

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 6m Cora says Sox will constantly seek feedback from Rodriguez about how he’s feeling this year given dearth of info about pitchers who miss a year for anything other than an arm injury.
Cora says Sale is throwing on flat ground at 120 feet. No date for when he’ll throw off a mound.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 10m Alex Cora on Eduardo Rodriguez -- 'We have a great relationship. He was very honest. That's the reason he's pitching right now -- he felt good. He said it with conviction.'
'His body is going to let us know throughout the season where he's at.' #RedSox
Cora said Sale is likely to stay in Boston through at least the next home stand. He could report to Fort Myers when it's time to start working off a mound/facing hitters in live situations. #RedSox
Cora said Gonzalez at short is more about having Hernandez in the outfield. Renfroe is also out of the lineup. #RedSox

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 9m Cora is asked about some hitters in baseball starting slow because of the cold weather in April. He notes there are similar temperatures in October and far fewer complaints at that point in the season. #RedSox

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 1h #RedSox officially announce the activation of Eduardo Rodriguez (left elbow inflammation) off the IL.
No corresponding move. Boston optioned Tanner Houck on Wednesday and had an open spot on its 26-man roster.
Cora said the taxi squad can work out with the team and then has to leave prior to the game. They're isolated in a suite at the stadium or sent back to the hotel. The catcher -- Herrmann, in this case -- can stay with the team out of uniform. #RedSox

Class Act
Roch Kubatko @masnroch Trey Mancini knows he's going to get a lot of attention today in home opener, but he hopes fans also acknowledge Eduardo Rodriguez's return to the mound. Missed the 2020 season after testing positive for COVID-19 and subsequently dealt with myocarditis, inflammation of the heart.

Pete Abraham @peteabe · 1h A few pre-game tidbits from Baltimore:
* Sox haven't won 4 in a row since Aug. 14-18, 2019.
* Today is Eduardo Rodriguez's first start sine Sept. 29, 2019 — 557 days ago.
* Sox rotation has a 3.99 ERA including the stinker from Richards.
* JD Martinez leads the majors with 8 extra-base hits.
* O's can have 25 percent capacity, around 11,500.
* Rodriguez is 5-2, 2.60 in six career starts at Camden Yards, Great being back here. Still one of the best ballparks in the majors.
