Blake Swihart is finally getting his chance to catch.
For the first time this season Swihart gets the nod as the Red Sox' starting catcher, serving as the team's backstop with Jalen Beeks getting the start. Swihart has caught two innings this season after getting six starts at the position (including Opening Day) in 2016.
The rest of the Red Sox' lineup is also a bit out of the ordinary with J.D. Martinez moving to right field, Sam Travis playing left and Christian Vazquez serving as the designated hitter. Here is the Sox' lineup against Detroit lefty Matthew Boyd:
Andrew Benintendi CF
Xander Bogaerts SS
J.D.Martinez RF
Mitch Moreland 1B
Eduardo Nuñez 2B
Sam Travis LF
Rafael Devers 3B
Christian Vazquez DH
Blake Swihart C
