One day after the Boston Red Sox successfully tinkered with their batting order, the host San Francisco Giants hope to do the same with their middle infield when the clubs continue their interleague series on Saturday night.
Bumped up one spot in the lineup because of hot hitting of late, Triston Casas responded to the promotion with an RBI double and solo home run to power the Red Sox to a 3-2 win over the Giants on Friday.
The Red Sox also benefited from Alex Verdugo flip-flopping spots with Casas. He went 1-for-3 in Friday's win. The Red Sox are set to start left-hander James Paxton . He rebounded from his worst outing of the season to limit the New York Mets to three runs in six innings in an 8-6 victory last Saturday.
The veteran can count on seeing Giants prospect Marco Luciano in the lineup after the 21-year-old recorded his first major-league hit in Friday's loss -- a shot off third baseman Rafael Devers' glove in the sixth inning. Luciano scored his first big-league run later in the inning.
