The Boston Red Sox (6-6) meet their division rival Tampa Bay Rays (5-7) for the first time this season to wrap up a 10-game home stand at Fenway Park.
Boston split a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays that concluded with Monday’s annual Patriot’s Day game. The Red Sox were well on their way to winning the series until the bullpen melted down in the 8th inning. Boston’s bullpen has been solid overall, but the first home game of the season was lost when new closer Craig Kimbrel gave up a three-run homer and the home stand ended with setup man Koji Uehara coughing up four runs in an uncharacteristically wild outing to blow the lead late in the game.
