J.D. Drew, the hero of Game 2, will not be playing tonight for precautionary reasons. Francona didn't want to play J.D. on back to back days (if they lose they play tomorrow), so Coco Crisp will be taking his place in the lineup, and Ellsbury will shift over to right field. Mike Lowell will be back in the lineup tonight, and will batting behind Jason Bay. Hopefully Lowell will be able to tough it through the pain and be effective. First pitch is at 7:17pm.
Here is tonight's lineup:
1. Jacoby Ellsbury RF
2. Dustin Pedroia 2B
3. David Ortiz DH
4. Kevin Youkilis 1B
5. Jason Bay LF
6. Mike Lowell 3B
7. Jed Lowrie, SS
8. Jason Varitek C
9. Coco Crisp CF
Josh Beckett SP
