**Bernardino to Open for Red Sox in Series Finale Against Guardians**
BOSTON – Fresh off closing out Tuesday’s 11-7 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, left-handed reliever Brennan Bernardino will take the mound as the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in Wednesday’s series finale at Fenway Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET.
The Red Sox will be employing an opener strategy, with Bernardino making his third start of the season. The 33-year-old has been a reliable presence in the bullpen, boasting a 3.08 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 53 appearances.
Following Bernardino, Dustin May is expected to be the bulk reliever. May, who pitched Saturday, will be on short rest. Rookie Payton Tolle is being given extra rest and will start on Friday against the Diamondbacks in Arizona.
Cleveland will counter with left-hander Joey Cantillo (3-3, 3.93 ERA). Boston will look to complete a series sweep of the Guardians.
