Red Sox lineups: Blockbuster pitching matchup headlines Saturday at Fenway

One of the most exciting pitching matchups of the Red Sox season will commence at Fenway Saturday evening when All-Star left-handers Clayton Kershaw and Garrett Crochet square off in the second of this three-game series.

Kershaw, 37, owns a 3.27 ERA over 11 starts in his 18th season with the Dodgers. Crochet, 26 as of June 21, enters Saturday with a 2.19 ERA and American League-best 189 ERA+ over 21 starts, an AL-leading 135.1 innings pitched, and the most strikeouts in Major League Baseball (165).

To counter the legendary Dodgers southpaw, Red Sox manager Alex Cora has stacked his lineup. Rob ‘Southpaw Slayer’ Refsnyder will lead off and serve as designated hitter, with regular leadoff man Jarren Duran batting seventh, instead. Romy Gonzalez, another prodigious lefty killer is batting cleanup and manning second base.
