BOSTON -- Fresh off the biggest day of his nascent big-league career, Travis Shaw gets the chance to repeat himself today.
Shaw -- who went 4-for-4 with a double and two home runs in the Red Sox' 11-7 win over the Rays on Saturday -- is back in the lineup at third base, batting sixth, as the Sox attempt to complete a three-game sweep of Tampa Bay. He and his teammates will have a tough task against Rays right-hander Jake Odorizzi, whose pedestrian 6-6 record doesn't reflect how well he's pitched this year (2.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP).
