The Orioles go for the sweep this afternoon in Boston with left-hander Bruce Zimmermann making his second career start and Chance Sisco setting the target for him.

Sisco replaces Pedro Severino, who’s 4-for-8 with two runs scored while batting ninth.

Austin Hays stays in left field but moves down to eighth. Maikel Franco is batting sixth, followed by Freddy Galvis.

Ruiz-Catches-Pop-Black-Fenway-Sidebar.jpgThe rest of the lineup remains intact. Cedric Mullins is leading off and Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter. Rio Ruiz gets another start at second base.

The Orioles used 58 different lineups last season in 60 games.

This is the 18th time in club history that the Orioles have gone homerless in their first two games.

Rafael Devers and his defensive issues are on the bench today for the Red Sox.

The Orioles are trying for their first sweep at Fenway Park since Aug. 25-27, 2017, also their last sweep of the Red Sox home or away.
