There are a few major stories for the Sox in this one. First, is the return of Yoshida, who has missed four straight games with a hamstring issue. Second, is that Yoshida has been moved to sixth in the order following his early season struggles. He's hitting just .216 at this point. The team also sticks with Chang at SS. He had a home run yesterday that gave the Sox a lead. You can see it here. He also had a big single late that helped fuel the Sox comeback.

As for the 7-7 Angels...

1) Zach Neto, SS

2) Mike Trout, CF

3) Shohei Ohtani, DH

4) Anthony Rendon, 3B

5) Hunter Renfroe, RF

6) Gio Urshela, 1B

7) Luis Rengifo, LF

8) Brandon Drury, 2B

9) Logan O'Hoppe, C

SP: Reid Detmers (0-0, 5.59 ERA)
