Red Sox drop series opener against the Rays, 3-0.

The Red Sox lost with Joe Kelly going to the disabled list after only throwing 23 pitches.

Boston started the day with some moves by sending Noe Ramirez to Pawtucket and calling up Heath Hembree, who would be of much help for the team today. After losing in one of the most disappointing ways possible against the Blue Jays in the series finale, the Red Sox were trying to go back to the win column by sending Joe Kelly to the mound against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Kelly faced only four batters before being replaced by Hembree. It was later reported that Kelly has a right shoulder impingement and will go to the DL for at least a couple of weeks.

Kelly to the DL.
