Starting Lineups, Pitchers for Pirates, Red Sox March 20 Spring Training Game

In this story:
The Pittsburgh Pirates will play the Boston Red Sox Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET at the Red Sox' spring training home, Fenway South in Fort Myers, Florida.
Garrett Whitlock will get the start Monday for the Red Sox.
