NEW YORK - David Ortiz is back in the starting lineup at first base and Hanley Ramirez remains out as the Red Sox look to complete a three-game sweep of the N.L. East-leading Mets on Sunday (1:10 p.m.) at Citi Field.
Ortiz played first base Friday night but didn't start Saturday because of a sore left heel. He did have a double in a pinch-hitting appearance in the 3-1 victory on Saturday. Ramirez hasn't played in the series because of a sore right shoulder. Alejandro De Aza gets the start in left field.
Lefty Wade Miley (10-10, 4.51 ERA) is on the mound for the Red Sox, opposed by Mets rookie righty Noah Sydnergaard (8-6, 3.19).
