Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Angels Starting Lineup — Friday, Jul 3, 2026
Final Lineups
Boston Red Sox @ Los Angeles Angels · Friday, Jul 3, 2026
Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Romy Gonzalez, and Jarren Duran have each seen Reid Detmers 14 times and all own the same line: 2-for-11 in 14 PA with a .182 average and .559 OPS. Willson Contreras is hitless in a very small sample, going 0-for-1 in 1 PA with a .000 OPS, while Carlos Narváez is 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS. Nate Eaton, Caleb Durbin, and Andruw Monasterio have no MLB history vs Detmers.
Zach Neto, Nolan Schanuel, Denzer Guzman, Jorge Soler, Vaughn Grissom, Jo Adell, Jose Siri, Josh Lowe, and Logan O'Hoppe all have no MLB history vs Jake Bennett. That leaves the home side with an entirely unfamiliar matchup profile against the opposing left-hander.
Boston has the clearer familiarity edge here, even if most of that prior exposure against Detmers has produced modest results. The home lineup enters with no recorded MLB plate appearances against Bennett.
