Red Sox rookie infielder Xander Bogaerts could get the start Game 5 against the Tigers, according to the Boston Herald.
Manager John Farrell admitted the team was getting little production from the left side of the infield after a 7-3 loss in Game 4. Bogaerts would likely start over Will Middlebrooks. Farrell has backed shortstop Stephen Drew despite his postseason struggles, saying he's experienced some bad luck with batted balls recently.
Bogaerts said he's felt "very confident, very relaxed" during the series. He added that he's been working on things during batting practice, and said anything could happen if given an opportunity.
