First Pitch: 1:35 p.m. ET<\/p>\n
The Red Sox and Orioles<\/a> will compete in the rubber match of their three-game series on Thursday at Fenway Park.<\/p>\n Brayan Bello, who has been absolutely phenomenal as a bulk reliever, will return to the starting rotation with the hope that he can keep that form without the help (or lack thereof) of an opener. Jovani Mor\u00e1n<\/a> and Tyler Samaniego<\/a>, the two men who have opened for the veteran right-hander, have combined to allow nine runs in four innings across their four starts, while the should-be starter has a 0.71 ERA in 25.1 innings of relief in 2026.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n It\u2019s just a matter of bringing that same mentality and execution to his original role\u2026<\/p>\n Jarren Duran<\/a>, Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a>, Wilyer Abreu<\/a>, and Willson Contreras<\/a> will remain as the first four in the order, with Andruw Monasterio<\/a>, Carlos Narv\u00e1ez<\/a>, and Connor Wong<\/a> slotting back into the lineup after missing the 8-1 victory on Wednesday. Marcelo Mayer<\/a>, Masataka Yoshida<\/a>, and Mickey Gasper<\/a> are out.<\/p>\n Yes, Wong is the DH\u2026<\/p>\n The O\u2019s will essentially run things back, with Leody Taveras<\/a>\u00a0and Colton Cowser<\/a> replacing Tyler O\u2019Neill and Blaze Alexander<\/a>. Trevor Rogers<\/a> will get the start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TV: NESN First Pitch: 1:35 p.m. ET The Red Sox and Orioles will compete in the rubber match…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":684229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[96422,77498,47417,28647,33559,852,2320,86976,97811,28642,191376,238233,217696,146321,61737,28631,283832,363,6454,48262,28624,99,92892,167807,24,7648,61864],"class_list":["post-684228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-andruw-monasterio","tag-blaze-alexander","tag-brayan-bello","tag-carlos-narvaez","tag-ceddanne-rafaela","tag-cleveland","tag-cleveland-guardians","tag-colton-cowser","tag-connor-wong","tag-jarren-duran","tag-jovani-moran","tag-ken-blaze-imagn","tag-leody-taveras","tag-mandatory-credit","tag-marcelo-mayer","tag-masataka-yoshida","tag-mickey-gasper","tag-mlb","tag-ohio","tag-orioles","tag-red-sox","tag-sports","tag-trevor-rogers","tag-tyler-samaniego","tag-usa","tag-willson-contreras","tag-wilyer-abreu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
