Red Sox vs. Tigers lineups: Jeter Downs debuts as Sox seek sweep

I’d be happy too.The Red Sox can sweep the Tigers out of town with a win tonight behind Michael Wacha (7:10 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-network).

While he’s not expected to be with the big-league club for long (this time, anyway), it’s nice to see the final piece of the Mookie Betts trade get his cup of coffee. He’ll play third base—notably, for the first time in any professional game at any level—and bat ninth, giving Rafael Devers a well-earned day off. Everyone’s days off are well-earned nowadays, frankly, with the way the Sox are playing. Jackie Bradley Jr. is also sitting against a lefty, with Rob Refsnyder playing right and batting second.

Wacha looks to continue is remarkably strong year…
