The Boston Red Sox and host San Francisco Giants will send openers to the mound in the rubber match of a three-game interleague series on Sunday afternoon.
Red Sox left-hander Brennan Bernardino and Giants lefty Scott Alexander are scheduled to start the finale of a series in which both teams have claimed a 3-2 win.
Sunday's start as an opener will be his fifth this month. The 31-year-old seems to have grown into the role, having thrown a total of 5 2/3 shutout innings in his last three starts, allowing just three hits and one walk. Eight of the 17 outs he recorded were strikeouts. Coincidentally, the Red Sox and Giants already made a move this week, with Boston picking up reliever Mauricio Llovera from San Francisco for minor-leaguer Marques Johnson, a right-handed pitcher.
On May 25 in Milwaukee, he retired the Brewers in order in his only inning pitched with one strikeout. The veteran saw no action in the Giants' 3-2 win, instead watching shortstop Marco Luciano enjoy the first two-hit outing of his three-game career before what is expected to be at least a part-time move to second base.
