    After the Boston Red Sox lost two out of three to the New York Yankees, they'll host the Seattle Mariners for a three-game series at Fenway Park starting on Monday.

    For the matchup, Boston will send Nick Pivetta to the mound while Seattle will counter with Logan Gilbert.

    Here's what Alex Cora's lineup, which doesn't feature Danny Jansen, looks like for the opener:

    1. Jarren Duran CF
    2. Wilyer Abreu RF
    3. Masataka Yoshida DH
    4. Rafael Devers 3B
    5. Tyler O’Neill LF
    6. Dom Smith 1B
    7. Connor Wong C
    8. David Hamilton 2B
    9. Ceddanne Rafaela SS

    And, here's Scott Servais':

    1. Victor Robles CF
    2. Randy Arozarena LF
    3. Cal Raleigh C
    4. Jorge Polanco 2B
    5. Luke Raley RF
    6. Dylan Moore SS
    7. Jason Vosler 1B
    8. Mitch Haniger DH
    9. Josh Rojas 3B

    Pivetta has been all right for Boston this season, posting a 4.50 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP while striking out 102 batters in his 16 starts. He's coming off his worst outing of the night, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings. He's allowed hits to five Mariners in his career - Arozarena (8-for-22 with two solo home runs and four walks), Polanco (4-for-8 with two home runs, three RBIs and two walks), Raleigh (3-for-7 with two solo home runs and a walk), Raley (2-for-6) and Robles (1-for-6 with two RBIs and a walk).

    Gilbert has been great for Seattle this season, recording a 2.72 ERA (seventh in baseball) and a 0.86 WHIP (first) while striking out 132 batters (15th) in 21 starts. He's allowed hits to five Red Sox in his career - Duran (2-for-5 with a home run, two RBIs and a walk), Rafaela (2-for-3), Smith (1-for-3), Wong (2-for-3 with a walk) and Yoshida (1-for-6 with an RBI).
