Red Sox infielder Pedro Ciriaco was given his first start at shortstop this season Saturday in Toronto with Jose Iglesias day to day with a forearm issue.
Ciriaco was listed ninth in the order by manager John Farrell. He entered Friday's game as a pinch-hitter for Iglesias in the fourth inning and smacked an RBI single to shallow left field. He finished the game 2 for 4 and added a double. He also stole a base in the game.
