Arizona Diamondbacks (66-59) at Boston Red Sox (66-58) — Game Preview
The Arizona Diamondbacks (66-59) travel to Fenway Park to face the Boston Red Sox (66-58) tonight. Boston’s pitching staff carries a 3.52 team ERA this season while Arizona’s sits at 4.09, the sharper split between two clubs that are otherwise close in the standings. Ketel Marte has powered Arizona’s offense with 21 home runs and 67 RBIs while hitting .249, and he squares off against a Red Sox lineup led by Willson Contreras, who is hitting .278 with 24 home runs and 72 RBIs of his own.
Gabriel Moreno adds a contact element behind Marte at .308 with a .385 on-base percentage, while Ceddanne Rafaela has settled in at .285 with a .463 slugging percentage patrolling center field for Boston. Arizona also leans on Corbin Carroll’s blend of power and speed and Boston counters with Wilyer Abreu’s .473 slugging percentage, giving both lineups more depth than the two headline bats alone suggest.

Players to Watch: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Boston Red Sox
Arizona Diamondbacks
Gabriel Moreno — C. The Diamondbacks’ backstop is quietly one of the tougher outs in Arizona’s lineup, hitting .308 this season. His .385 on-base percentage and .465 slugging percentage show he’s more than a batting-average specialist behind the plate.
Ketel Marte — 2B. Marte is hitting .249 with 21 home runs and 67 RBIs this season, making him Arizona’s primary power threat in the middle of the lineup. His .314 on-base percentage and .446 slugging percentage round out a complete offensive profile for the switch-hitting second baseman.
Corbin Carroll — RF. Speed and power both show up in Carroll’s numbers, a .248 average paired with 18 home runs and 57 RBIs in right field. His .490 slugging percentage and .344 on-base percentage make him a threat to change a game in more than one way.
Boston Red Sox
Ceddanne Rafaela — CF. Rafaela has settled in as an everyday presence in Boston’s outfield, hitting .285 with a .463 slugging percentage that points to more pop than his average alone suggests. His .323 on-base percentage keeps him a steady presence in the Red Sox order.
Willson Contreras — 1B. A .278 average with 24 home runs and 72 RBIs makes Contreras the focal point of Boston’s lineup most nights. His .389 on-base percentage and .523 slugging percentage combine patience with plenty of power in the middle of the order.
Wilyer Abreu — RF. Boston’s other power threat in the outfield is Abreu, hitting .257 with 22 home runs and 65 RBIs this season. His .335 on-base percentage and .473 slugging percentage make him a consistent extra-base threat deep in the Red Sox lineup.
