After the Boston Red Sox were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, they've traveled again for a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, starting on Monday.
For the matchup, Boston will send Tanner Houck to the mound while Colorado will counter with Austin Gomber.
Here's what Alex Cora's lineup will look like for the meeting:
- Jarren Duran CF
- Rob Refsnyder LF
- Connor Wong C
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Tyler O'Neill RF
- Masataka Yoshida DH
- Romy Gonzalez 1B
- Ceddanne Rafaela SS
- Jamie Westbrook 2B
Houck has been great for Boston this season, posting a 2.54 ERA (fourth in baseball) and a 1.03 WHIP (12th) while striking out 112 (tied for 26th). His last outing was in the All-Star Game, where he allowed three runs on four hits in his lone inning of work. Only one Rockie has a hit against him - Jake Cave (1-for-2).
Gomber hasn't been the best for Colorado in his 18 starts in 2024, recording a 4.61 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP while striking out 67. He's allowed at least four runs in six of his last seven starts. He's allowed hits to just one Red Sox - Refsnyder (1-for-2 with a walk).
