BOSTON — The Red Sox will try to snap a four-game home losing streak when host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the middle game of a three-game series at Fenway Park Saturday afternoon.
The Pirates took the opener, 4-2, Friday night, spoiling the major league debut of Payton Tolle.
The Red Sox will have first baseman Nathaniel Lowe back on their active roster following his two-day paternity leave, though Lowe isn’t in the lineup for Saturday. To make room for Lowe’s return, the Red Sox optioned utility man Nick Sogard to Worcester.
Saturday’s lineup is nearly identical to the one the Red Sox used in the series opener Friday, with the only changes coming at catcher — Carlos Narváez replaces Connor Wong — and second base — with David Hamilton getting the start over Sogard.
