ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Boston Red Sox have seen a recent surge up and down their batting order in the past two weeks, but manager John Farrell has been especially pleased with the production he’s getting from the bottom of the lineup.
On Friday, that included a key single from Tzu-Wei Lin, filling in for Xander Bogaerts at shortstop, to spark a four-run third inning, and two hits from Deven Marrero out of the No. 9 slot in the order.
“When you look at what the bottom of the order continues to do, Linny and Deven, they’re in the middle of starting rallies, continuing rallies, right in the mix with it,” Farrell said.
