    After the Boston Red Sox dropped the series opener to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday at Camden Yards, the two teams will meet again Friday night.

    For the matchup, Boston will send Brennan Bernardino to the mound while Baltimore will send out Corbin Burnes.

    Here's Alex Cora's lineup for the matchup:

    1. Jarren Duran LF
    2. Wilyer Abreu RF
    3. Triston Casas 1B
    4. Rafael Devers 3B
    5. Connor Wong C
    6. Masataka Yoshida DH
    7. Nick Sogard 2B
    8. David Hamilton SS
    9. Ceddanne Rafaela CF

    And, here's Brandon Hyde's:

    1. Adley Rustchman C
    2. Anthony Santander RF
    3. Gunnar Henderson SS
    4. Ryan Mountcastle 1B
    5. Colton Cowser LF
    6. Eloy Jimenez DH
    7. Jackson Holliday 2B
    8. Cedric Mullins CF
    9. Ramon Urias 3B

    Bernardino has been pretty good overall this year, posting a 3.79 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP while striking out 40 batters over 44 appearances. However, he's struggled recently, and this will be only his third time opening a game this year. Four Orioles have recorded hits against him in his career - Gunnar Henderson (2-for-5 with two triples), Ryan Mountcastle (1-for-2 with a walk), Cedric Mullins (1-for-3) and Ramon Urias (1-for-1).

    Burnes has been great for Baltimore in his 24 starts this season, recording a 2.71 ERA (third in baseball) and a 1.05 WHIP (13th) while striking out 137 batters (tied for 25th). He's allowed three or fewer runs in eight of his last night starts. Four Red Sox have recorded hits against him - Wilyer Abreu (1-for-3), Jarren Duran (1-for-8) Triston Casas (1-for-3 with two walks) and Connor Wong (3-for-5).
