On August 27th Rich Hill took on the Tampa Bay Rays, was treated to an entirely right-handed lineup, and shut them down for seven innings in a remarkable win for the Red Sox. Rich Hill then lasted just four innings allowing 4 runs to the Texas Rangers. Which Hill we get tonight - 11 strikeouts, no runs or 4 runs, walks, and Ks - is yet to be seen. But Tampa Bay rolling the dice on all right-handed hitters is probably the smart call for the, statistically speaking.
JT Chargois is playing the role of opener once more.
