Game 6: Red Sox at Tigers lineups and notes
By Andrew Mahoney Globe Staff,Updated April 13, 2022, 22 minutes ago
It looked like the offensive woes were going to continue for the Red Sox Tuesday afternoon as they trailed 3-0 in the sixth inning. But the bats finally came alive, and the Sox rallied for a 5-3 win.
They’ll try to keep that momentum rolling in today’s series finale in Detroit, with Nate Eovaldi on the hill as the Sox look to win the rubber match. It will be a familiar face on the mound for the Tigers, with lefthander Eduardo Rodriguez set to make his second start with his new team.
