Fresh off one of their weirder losses in recent memory, the Red Sox send Rich Hill out against Shane McClanahan in a battle of lefties on a Sunday afternoon (1:10 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market).
The less said about yesterday’s game, the better. Unfortunately talking about McClanahan isn’t very encouraging. He’s very good and young and presents a problem for any team, leastwise one as offensively challenged as these Sox currently are. Then again, it just takes one game to turn it all around.
Hill, one day removed from his normal turn in the rotation, is on the mound for the Sox.
