What’s the opposite of a farewell tour? A good riddance tour? Whatever it is, Alex Rodriguez is going through it right now. He is playing the final road game of his career tonight — Alex played his first ever MLB game at Fenway Park, so everything is coming full circle — and he’s in the lineup in a move that seething with obligation. A-Rod is also batting cleanup because the Yankees are #TryingToWin. Whatever. Here is the Red Sox’s lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- 3B Chase Headley
- DH Alex Rodriguez
- 2B Starlin Castro
- SS Didi Gregorius
- C Gary Sanchez
- 1B Austin Romine
Not a bad night for baseball in Boston.
