LOUIS -- Shane Victorino is out of Bostons starting lineup again on Monday night. Victorino was scratched from Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday because of lower back stiffness.

"Shane is much improved from yesterday and probably could have started today, so hes available at full capacity," Red Sox manager John Farrell said before Game 5. "The only question going into today was the duration in which he might be on the field. So rather than putting ourselves in a position where if weve got to make a move and force our hand to eliminate a player, this way we can use him at our discretion." Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Gomes each moved up a spot in the batting order, with Pedroia batting second, Ortiz third and Gomes starting a game at cleanup for the fourth time this year, according to STATS.
