After David Price got the job done on the mound for the Red Sox in Game 2, Alex Cora was quick to name his Game 3 starter during his press conference after his team's 4-2 win.

Shortly after the Red Sox victory, Cora confirmed that Rick Porcello would take the mound for the team as they head to Los Angeles for Game 3 Friday night on Boston 25.

Cora brought up the chance of Nathan Eovaldi starting Game 4 for the team, but said he could be used in the bullpen in Game 3 if there is a good chance for a win late in the game.
