Red Sox at Orioles lineup: Will the bats wake up without Mookie?

The Red Sox (45-22) look to wake up the bats against the Orioles (19-46) tonight at Camden Yards (7:05 p.m., NESN) behind Eduardo Rodriguez (7-1, 3.68 ERA).

About tonight’s game: Would some offense be too much to ask for? The Sox look to bust through a mini-slump at the plate against David Hess (2-2, 3.07 ERA), though they won’t have Mookie Betts, who rests after his first game back off the DL. Somewhat oddly, Eduardo Núñez leads off — and DHes — and Andrew Benintendi stays in the 2-hole, despite the damage he did in the leadoff spot in Betts’s absence.
