    After the Boston Red Sox defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-0 at Coors Field on Tuesday, the two clubs will meet for the finale to decide the three-game set on Wednesday.

    For the matchup, Boston will send Nick Pivetta to the mound, while Colorado will counter with Cal Quantrill.

    Here's what Alex Cora's lineup will look like for Game 3:

    1. Jarren Duran LF
    2. Wilyer Abreu RF
    3. Masataka Yoshida DH
    4. Rafael Devers 3B
    5. Dominic Smith 1B
    6. Romy Gonzalez 2B
    7. Reese McGuire C
    8. David Hamilton SS
    9. Ceddanne Rafaela CF

    And, here's Bud Black's:

    1. Ezequiel Tovar SS
    2. Jake Cave RF
    3. Brenton Doyle CF
    4. Ryan McMahon 3B
    5. Kris Bryant DH
    6. Brendan Rodgers 2B
    7. Michael Toglia 1B
    8. Jacob Stallings C
    9. Sam Hilliard LF

    Pivetta has been good for Boston this season, posting a 3.87 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP while striking out 96 batters over 15 starts. His last outing might've been his best of the year, tossing six scoreless, two-hit innings of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  He's allowed hits to two active Rockies in his career - Cave (1-for-4 with an RBI and a walk) and Bryant (2-for-6 with an RBI).

    Quantrill has been solid for Colorado in his 20 starts, recording a 4.15 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP while striking out 83 players so far. He allowed three or more runs in five of his last six starts. He's surrendered hits to just two Red Sox - Devers (3-for-8 with a solo home run and a walk) and Gonzalez (1-for-2 with two RBIs).
