BOSTON — Rookie Marcelo Mayer is not in Boston’s lineup against a left-handed starter for the second straight game.

The Red Sox and Angels will play Game 2 of their three-game series Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. here at Fenway Park. Boston right-hander Brayan Bello (2-1, 3.83 ERA) will start opposite lefty Yusei Kikuchi (1-5, 3.06 ERA).

The Red Sox will face a left-handed starting pitcher for the second day in a row but it marks only their 14th time in 63 games facing one. Boston has gone 6-7 so far in those games.

Manager Alex Cora said Monday that the Red Sox will “pick and choose” when to play Mayer against left-handed starters.

Romy Gonzalez is again at first base. He will bat cleanup. Abraham Toro is again playing third base and batting fifth.

Connor Wong will catch Bello. He’s 3-for-8 with a double and strikeout in his career vs. Kikuchi.

Bello has failed to make it through five innings in each of his past five starts.
