Boston Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino is back in the lineup for Game 6 of the World Series after missing the previous two contests with lower back tightness.
Red Sox manager John Farrell revealed his Game 6 lineup on Wednesday afternoon, with Victorino batting sixth in the order instead of his usual No. 2 spot.
In Victorino's absence, the Red Sox moved Dustin Pedroia (from third to second) and David Ortiz (from fourth to third) up a spot in the lineup.
Farrell, who made the revelation in an interview on Boston sports radio station WEEI, apparently liked what he saw from that order, which produced victories in Games 4 and 5.
First baseman Mike Napoli slides into the cleanup spot Wednesday in his first start since Game 5, with left fielder Jonny Gomes batting fifth.
Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury will lead off, and rookie third baseman Xander Bogaerts, hortstop Stephen Drew and catcher David Ross round out the lineup.
The Red Sox lead the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 and are looking to win a World Series at home for the first time since 1918.
