Red Sox Vs. Mets Lineups: Hunter Dobbins Starts Series Opener

The Red Sox and the Mets will kick off a three-game series Monday evening at Fenway Park.

Boston will give the ball to Hunter Dobbins for the opener. Dobbins has been a bright spot for a Red Sox rotation that, outside of ace Garrett Crochet, hasn’t offered many positive results this season. The rookie went at least five innings in all of his first five outings, and he allowed two runs or fewer in three of those performances.

Behind Dobbins will be a lineup that looks pretty similar to the starting nine used Sunday. The two exceptions will be Nick Sogard replacing Abraham Toro at first base and Carlos Narvaez stepping in for Connor Wong to do the catching.

Here are the full lineups for Monday’s Mets-Red Sox game, which will have full coverage on NESN beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET.
