Moves to leadoff Friday Refsnyder batted leadoff and went 1-for-2 with a walk in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Royals. Impact Red Sox manager Alex Cora had Refsnyder and Jarren Duran swap spots in the order against a left-hander. Boston, which is 1-8 against left-handed starters since June 1, has hit righties better than southpaws this season, so Cora was hoping to get a jump against Cole Ragans. The ploy worked as Refsnyder singled in his first at-bat, but he was stranded at first base.
