Red Sox lineup features Nate Eaton in leadoff position against Rockies

The Boston Red Sox face the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, with first pitch set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Interim manager Chad Tracy has placed Nate Eaton at the leadoff spot as he continues to experiment with the lineup. Jarren Duran will serve as the designated hitter while Andruw Monasterio starts at shortstop. The Red Sox are looking to improve their offensive output after averaging low runs in recent games and currently hold a 5-10 record over their last 15 games, struggling to win despite allowing few runs on the road trip. Sonny Gray, coming into the game with a total of six wins in his last six decisions, aims to continue his successful run as the starting pitcher for Boston.
