Prev. Gm:

Boston Red Sox (2-1) @ Tampa Bay Rays (2-1)

8:37 PM EDT | Tropicana Field (St. Petersburg, FL)
TV: TBS RADIO: WRKO 680, ESPN

GAME NOTES: Daniel Rathman: The bad news is that the Sox went 1-8 in their nine games at Tropicana Field during the regular season, and they came out on the losing end both times James Shields was on the hill for the Rays. The good news is that none of that matters a whit heading into tonight
