The big moment came in the second inning when Jaren Durand blasted his 20th Homer of the season, really opening things up for Boston. But here's a twist, heading into game 2. Manager Chad Tracey decided to shake up the lineup and bench Durand. This comes after Durand had a solid two hit performance in the opener. Which Sedan Raffaella recently going on the injured list, the Outfield is getting a bit of a shuffle. We're looking at Roman Anthony and left, Eli White in center, and Willier Abraew, and Ryfield for this next game. This move might be a sign of things to come, as players get healthy.
