Following a series win agains the Atlanta Braves, the Tampa Bay Rays welcomed the Boston Red Sox to town to begin a three game set on Monday night. The night game marked the Rays first AL East matchup of the season and both Shane Baz and the offense came ready to play.
Baz got the ball for the Rays, making his third start of the season. Opposite Baz was Tanner Houck. While the former was dominant allowing just a pair of hits while striking out 11, the latter struggled mightily, was chased in third inning and surrendered 12 earned runs and only struck out one.
