The Red Sox look to end a two-game losing streak when their six-game road trip begins Friday.<\/p>\n

Boston came off a series loss against the Mariners, the first time Seattle won a series at Fenway Park since 2014. The American League West side boasts a strong pitching staff, but manager Alex Cora was optimistic that his side\u2019s hitting slump would quickly turn around.<\/p>\n

Cora will start Ceddanne Rafaela at center field after taking a day off. He\u2019ll bat in the eight-hole ahead of catcher Carlos Narv\u00e1ez. That means Kristian Campbell moves back to second base, and he\u2019ll bat sixth ahead of Triston Casas. Trevor Story and Wilyer Abreu also will swap the fourth and fifth spots in the order to try to help the shortstop break his hitless streak.<\/p>\n

Tanner Houck will start Friday night. The right-hander is coming off a no-decision outing against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park last Sunday, where he gave up two runs off three hits and recorded seven strikeouts in six innings.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s matchup against the Cleveland Guardians also will mark Cora\u2019s 1,000th game as Red Sox manager.<\/p>\n
