BOSTON – The Orioles will try for the series win this afternoon with the latest outfield alignment putting Terrin Vavra in left field.

Three games and three different left fielders, including Anthony Santander on Opening Day and Ryan McKenna last night.

Jorge Mateo is out of the lineup after sustaining two cuts on his right index finger last night. He stayed in the game and said he was fine, but Gunnar Henderson is playing shortstop and Ramón Urías is at third base after he struck out five times last night.

Urías drops from the leadoff spot to ninth.

Santander remains the designated hitter and Austin Hays is in right field. Kyle Stowers is on the bench again.

Adley Rutschman is catching Cole Irvin, who’s making his first appearance at Fenway Park.

Right-hander Tanner Houck has faced the Orioles five times and allowed three earned runs with 18 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings. Today marks his second start against them.
