September is formally right here, and the Purple Sox will kick off the ultimate month of the common season with a Labor Day matinee in opposition to the Cleveland Guardians.
Brayan Bello (10-6, 2.99) will take the ball because the Purple Sox open up a three-game collection in opposition to the Guardians. Bello is scheduled to face off in opposition to Guardians lefty Parker Messick (1-0, 0.66).
To counter the left-hander, the Purple Sox are loading up with righty bats.
Six of Boston’s high seven hitters on Monday are righties. After lefty Roman Anthony leads off the Purple Sox will go Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Romy Gonzalez, Rob Refsnyder, Nate Eaton and Ceddanne Rafaela.
Jarren Duran, who’s batting .208 with a .584 OPS in opposition to lefties this season, will come off the bench.
Getting into the day the Purple Sox are third within the AL East, trailing the Toronto Blue Jays by 3.5 video games and the New York Yankees by a half-game for second within the division and first within the AL Wild Card race. The Yankees are off on Monday, whereas the Blue Jays are set to open a collection in opposition to the Cincinnati Reds.
