The Boston Red Sox (19-5) host the Tampa Bay Rays (10-13) for a three-game series at Fenway Park. The Red Sox are 6-1 against the Rays this season, outscoring them 31-21 through seven games.
The Red Sox have won all but one series this season, dropping two out of three to the A’s in Oakland. Since their offense went silent, they managed to rebound with taking two out of three from the Blue Jays in Toronto.
Xander Bogaerts will be welcomed back to the lineup tonight after suffering an ankle injury against the Rays last time the two played in Fenway.
