First Pitch: 1:10 pm. ET

The Red Sox dropped a pair of low-scoring games in Boston’s first series at Tropicana Field since 2024. Now 11 games under .500 for the first time in six seasons, the Red Sox try to salvage the matinee finale before returning to Fenway Park. 

Jake Bennett takes the ball in his return to the big leagues after posting a 4.35 ERA in his first two big-league starts.

Here’s who the Red Sox send to the plate in the series finale. 

The Rays counter with Drew Rasmussen in the middle of a strong season to the tune of a 3.00 ERA in 12 starts for Tampa Bay.
