After losing Saturday night's battle with the Los Angeles Angels and having their five-game win streak snapped, the Boston Red Sox have a chance to earn the series win on Sunday at Angels Park.

Unfortunately, they'll be doing so without Trevor Story, who was placed on the 10-day IL with a dislocated shoulder.

Manager Alex Cora released the team's lineup before the contest, and it features recently called-up infielder David Hamilton, who will be getting his first start of the season. Here's what the whole lineup looks like behind Tanner Houck:

  1. CF Jarren Duran
  2. 3B Rafael Devers
  3. LF Tyler O'Neill
  4. 1B Triston Casas
  5. DH Masataka Yoshida
  6. 2B Enmanuel Valdez
  7. RF Wilyer Abreu
  8. C Reese McGuire
  9. 2B David Hamilton

Ceddanne Rafaela is also out of the lineup, which will likely hurt Boston's defense even more.

They'll need Houck to look just as good as he did against the Oakland Athletics in his first start of the season (six innings, 10 strikeouts and no runs).
