Lineups

A few changes tonight with Scott Kazmir, a tough lefty, going for the Rays. Drew is out because of Kazmir, not because of the pitch that him last night. (His shoulder is sore, but it's nothing troubling.) Francona considered putting Alex Cora in for Mark Kotsay -- putting Kevin Youkilis at first, Jed Lowrie at third, and Cora at shortstop -- but settled on this lineup instead.

More to come.
