The Boston Red Sox and the Atlanta Braves wrap up their three-game series Sunday afternoon at Truist Park.
Boston earned a much-needed win Friday night while Atlanta handed the Red Sox their first shutout loss of the season Saturday afternoon.
Garrett Crochet gets the start on the mound for the Red Sox in the rubber match. He tossed seven strong innings in a loss to the Braves on May 16. He enters with a 2.04 ERA, but Boston failed to give him run support recently and sits only at 6-6 in his starts.
Abraham Toro played his way to another start at first base, hitting cleanup after a recent stretch of quality at-bats. That’s a notable change from the plan that Kristian Campbell would get his first start at first base Sunday, as Alex Cora communicated during the week.
Atlanta counters with right-hander Bryce Elder as the Braves try to take both sets in the season series against Boston. First pitch is set for 1:35 p.m. ET. You can catch the game, plus an hour of pregame coverage, on NESN.
