Following as successful rain-shortened homestand to open the season, the Boston Red Sox set out on their first road trip to visit the Detroit Tigers for the start of a four-game set.
Thursday’s postponement has allowed the Red Sox to rearrange their rotation. Knuckleballer Steven Wright will take the mound this afternoon to open the series, bumping Eduardo Rodriguez back a day. The switch allows the staff to alternate their right-handed pitchers with lefties, as Rick Porcello will follow on Sunday and Chris Sale will finish off the series on Monday.
