Breaking news: the Red Sox can beat the Rays! Well, they can if you give them two chances in one day, at least.
Less than 24 hours after the depressing-but-not-end-of-the-world-just-yet news about Chris Sale’s shoulder soreness, the Sox took the field on a soggy Saturday and split a doubleheader against a team that’s been dominating them since 2019. And I don’t use the word “dominating” lightly here — the Sox are just 25-46 against Tampa in the last three-plus seasons.
Game 1, frankly, should’ve been a much easier win than it turned out to be.
