The scarlet stockings of Boston will take on the powder potentates from Kansas City tonight at Fenway Park. The teams have split the first two games of this four-game series, with each looking to secure at least a series split tonight.
Jordan Lyles will take the bump for Kansas City. I usually try to write something good about the starting pitcher here but it’s hard to find anything like that with Lyles. He’s given up at least three earned runs in 17 of his 21 starts this season. He has a 4.26 FIP since the start of June, so I guess that’s something.
