Red Sox vs. Tigers Game 3: Expected Starting Pitchers

The Red Sox are rolling with Sonny Gray, who’s expected to return from the IL and jump straight into a key spot. He’s 2-1 with a 4.30 ERA so far. If he’s sharp, Boston looks a lot more stable on the mound.

Detroit counters with Framber Valdez, and he’s already shown he can handle this lineup. The lefty held Boston to just one run over six innings in their last meeting, and his ability to generate ground balls makes him a tough matchup, especially against hitters who rely on lifting the ball.
