Heading in opposite directions, Rays and Red Sox meet again

The Tampa Bay Rays will be seeking their fifth straight win when they meet the Red Sox Wednesday night in Boston.

The resurgent offense led the Rays to victories in the first two games of the four-game series at Fenway Park. Following Tampa Bay's 8-7 series-opening win Monday night -- a game that featured a season-high 16 hits and eight walks for the Rays -- the team batting average climbed to .222, good for 10th in the AL.

And the Rays backed up that performance with their fourth straight victory on Tuesday, grabbing an 8-2 victory behind yet another explosive seventh inning.
