However, it seems for the final series against the Tigers, the Sox are wheeling out some interesting names as starting pitchers.<\/p>\n<p>According to MassLive\u2019s Chris Cotillo, the Sox are rolling out Kyle Harrison, Connelly Early, and a TBD pitcher for the homestand against the Tigers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox linked to $13 million AL East rival star pitcher to replace Dustin May in backend of rotation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cInterestingly, Red Sox list Harrison, Early and TBD as starters for this weekend against Detroit. If it matters, Game 162 would be Giolito. But there&#8217;s no way he&#8217;ll pitch if nothing is on the line,\u201d Cotillo wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison did well in his two appearances with the Sox so far, going nine innings over two games, and only giving up one run while getting seven Ks. He\u2019s lowered his ERA from 4.56 to 3.58, and seems to be thriving with the Sox. Early has done well too, posting a 1.88 ERA over 14 innings pitched with 22 Ks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox predicted to reunite with former No. 1 overall prospect in case Alex Bregman departs in free agency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it doesn\u2019t seem like a head-scratcher to roll out these two, they\u2019re facing the Tigers. The Tigers, whose backs are against the Wall after blowing a 15-game AL Central lead, and are now fighting for their own spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Harrison nor Early have faced an opponent as good as the Tigers, or one with as much to lose. Hopefully they rise to the challenge, and are able to make sure Boston is heading to October baseball.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0BOSTON RED SOX\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MLB insider declares Red Sox acquisition of Garrett Crochet as Transaction of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox linked to $66 million two-time All-Star as cost-effective Alex Bregman replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox predicted to put No. 3 prospect on trade block due to surplus of depth in outfield<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a must win series the Sox have wheeled out some interesting guys to start on the mound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":98608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
