The Tampa Bay Rays entered Tuesday night looking for their 11th consecutive win to begin the 2023 season. To secure an 11-0 start, they would have to beat the Boston Red Sox again after prevailing in a close on the night prior.
Behind yet another show of offensive force including seven runs and four homers, the Rays would cruise to victory again, extending their winning streak. Only the 1982 Braves and the 1987 Brewers have started the season with more consecutive wins, both getting to 13 before dropping their first game of the year. To get to that number, the Rays will have to sweep the Sox out of the Trop int he final two games of this series.
