The Red Sox head back to Florida, this time to open their season series against the Rays behind Michael Wacha (7:10 p.m., NESN) as they look to get back to .500.
Yesterday was a bummer, and tonight, facing Corey Kluber, things don’t get any easier. The Rays lineup is keyed by 21-year-old Wander Franco and 2021 Rookie of the Year Randy Arozarena, though in this year’s limited action it’s been all Franco. Tampa Bay’s lineup features both of their Lowes: Brandon, playing second and batting leadoff, and Josh, designated hitting and batting sixth. Red Sox prospect legend Manuel Margot plays center field and bats seventh.
