On the most beautiful weather night for baseball so far this year at Fenway Park, Ranger Suarez tries to post yet another beautiful pitching line (he’s already held opponents to zero earned runs in five starts this year).
Lineup wise, the most interesting detail is Mickey Gasper starting at catcher, and while that’s most likely because there’s a righty on the mound for Atlanta and Chad Tracy is slowly working Gasper in behind the plate, the far more compelling explanation would be that it was supposed to be Connor Wong’s turn and he got benched for his embarrassing baserunning in the 9th inning on Sunday.
Speaking of the catcher position, let’s try our new feature where we can embed polls from the feed and ask who should be starting the majority of games there right now:
Here’s the full lineup:
