Speedster Jacoby Ellsbury, who recently had a 22-game hitting
Speedster Jacoby Ellsbury, who recently had a 22-game hitting streak snapped, was moved from leadoff to eighth. Dustin Pedroia, Boston's typical No. 2 hitter, was moved to the top spot. J.D. Drew, who had supplanted David Ortiz in the three-hole on Tuesday, batted second for the first time in his three seasons with the Red Sox. Kevin Youkilis batted third, while Jason Bay served as the cleanup man and Mike Lowell batted fifth. Ortiz, still in the throes of an epic slump, remained in the six spot for the sixth straight game. The Red Sox had scored just 12 runs in their previous five games entering Sunday.
