    After the Seattle Mariners defeated the Boston Red Sox 10-6 on Tuesday at Fenway Park, the two teams will meet again on Wednesday for the series finale.

    For the matchup, Boston will send Brayan Bello to the mound while Seattle will counter with George Kirby.

    Here's Alex Cora's lineup for Game 3:

    1. Jarren Duran CF
    2. Wilyer Abreu RF
    3. Masataka Yoshida DH
    4. Rafael Devers 3B
    5. Rob Refsnyder LF
    6. Dom Smith 1B
    7. Danny Jansen C
    8. David Hamilton 2B
    9. Ceddanne Rafaela SS

    Bello has struggled this season in his 19 starts, posting a 5.27 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP while striking out 96 batters. He's allowed exactly three runs in each of his last three starts. He's allowed hits to 10 different Mariners in his career - Randy Arozarena (3-for-11 with two RBIs and three walks), Mitch Garver (2-for-6 with a solo home run), Mitch Haniger (1-for-2 with a home run and two RBIs), Cade Marlowe (2-for-3), Jorge Polanco (1-for-1), Cal Raleigh (2-for-5 with three walks), Luke Raley (1-for-7 with a walk), Josh Rojas (1-for-5) and Justin Turner (1-for-3 with an RBI and walk).

    Kirby has been great for Seattle, recording a 3.03 ERA (13th in baseball) and a 0.98 WHIP (fifth) while striking out 129 batters (tied for 21st) over 22 starts. He's allowed three or fewer runs in his last 11 outings. He's allowed hits to three Red Sox - Devers (5-for-10 with a home run, three RBIs and a walk), Duran (2-for-7 with two walks), Tyler O'Neill (1-for-3) and Rafaela (1-for-3).
