The Tampa Bay Rays sent Andrew Kittredge to the mound to start the game in their first bullpen game of the year. The Red Sox took advantage of a few opportunities to lead to a 3-2 victory over the Rays.
In the top of the second Xander Bogaerts hasn’t missed a hittable pitch this season and he put the Red Sox up 1-0 on a solo shot on a middle cut fastball.
In the top of the third Mookie Betts lined a ground rule double over the Crawford Cutout in left field. Kittredge induced a grounder to second from Andrew Benintendi to end the inning.
