Welcome back to another episode of The Pre-Cap Podcast, your spot to hear the latest developments from the Red Sox most recent series as well as a look ahead to the next one up on the schedule. This time, we’re looking back at a brutal three-game sweep at the hands of the Rays as well as ahead to a three-game set in Detroit.
The Red Sox dropped all three games in this series to the Rays, who overtook the Red Sox for first place in the division for the first time since June. On Friday in the opener, the pitching matchup was Martín Pérez taking on Josh Fleming, and the Rays got to Boston’s southpaw early.
