Joe Kelly will take the mound on Tuesday evening to try and help the Boston Red Sox snap a two game losing streak, as they start a three game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. The Rays come into the series on a two game winning streak.
The Red Sox split a four game weekend series with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays took two out of three against the Chicago White Sox. The highlights of the upcoming series will be Sox ace David Price taking the mound against the team he started with. Rays ace Chris Archer will be trying to get on track after a rough start to the season. Rays manager Kevin Cash has not named a starting pitcher for Thursday afternoon. He will most likely turn to Jake Odorizzi or Erasmo Ramirez for that one.
