EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox revealed that Verdugo had battled cramps in his left hamstring during Saturday's loss, but he managed to stay in the contest and finished 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Even with a quick turnaround for Sunday's game -- which starts at 1:10 p.m. ET -- Verdugo looks like he'll be ready to play a full nine innings. He'll be putting a three-game multi-hit streak on the line in the series finale.
