Red Sox Have Benintendi-Martinez-Devers At Top Of Lineup In Exhibition Loss To Blue Jays

The Red Sox lost to the Blue Jays 8-6 on Tuesday in an exhibition game at Fenway Park.

Mitch Moreland hit a three-run homer in the first inning and J.D. Martinez smacked a two-run dong in the fifth. But Ryan Brasier gave the lead away by allowing three runs in the ninth.

Manager Ron Roenicke had Martinez batting in the #2 spot behind Andrew Benintendi.

We may do it in the future. I wanted to see what [Martinez] thought about it. I guess they tried it a little bit when he was in Detroit and he didn't like it a whole lot.
