But the Sox have Nate Eaton in right field. It\u2019s unknown whether Abreu is going to be activated and available off the bench on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SOT26GBJ7NBKBBIKH7HQMCGZ2Q\">Otherwise, the Red Sox lineup is identical to the one used Friday night in the series opener when the Red Sox had a bit of an offensive explosion and posted an 11-7 victory.<\/p>\n<p id=\"A5UYONTE7JE4HBHDDGDQD5BNAM\">The Red Sox will be getting a look at lefty Kyle Harrison in his first start for the team and just his second appearance. He\u2019s had a long layoff after appearing out of the bullpen in Sacramento, some 10 days ago.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4F3ELGNLKRAKLF73TTTGP5R7JM\"><b>BOSTON RED SOX (84-70) @ TAMPA BAY RAYS (75-79) \u00b7 GEORGE M.
