Brock Holt, Steve Pearce Starting In Game 1
6 years agoBoston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt and first baseman Steve Pearce are both in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against Astros ace Justin Verlander on Saturday. Holt is at second base and is hitting sixth, while Pearce is at first base and is batting fifth. Holt hit for the only cycle in postseason history in his only start in the Division Series. He has three hits in 10 at-bats with two RBI against Verlander in his career, while Pearce is 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Verlander has been one of the toughest starters in all of baseball in 2018, so both Holt and Pearce will have their work cut out for them.
