The Tampa Bay Rays took care of business in Baltimore with a three game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. Now they head to Boston to take on the Boston Red Sox. The two teams are going to become well acquainted with each other as 10 of the Rays remaining 50 games are against the Red Sox.
The Rays lead the season series 5-4. The series started off with the Rays dropping their first four meetings, but the Rays have turned things around and won the last five. The sweep last weekend at Tropicana Field saw the Rays regain the American League East lead and the lead has only expanded with the Red Sox dropping 10 of their last 13 games.
