The Boston Red Sox face the Texas Rangers in a game on Sunday Night Baseball, seeking a series sweep. Interim manager Chad Tracy is making lineup adjustments, as Jarren Duran is not in the leadoff spot. Instead, Masataka Yoshida will lead off against former Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi. Yoshida has struggled this season with a.238 batting average but is known for his consistent contact at the plate.
