David Ortiz leads the Red Sox and ranks third in the majors with 97 RBI. He's on the verge of a 10th season with Boston with 100-plus RBI; he currently shares the franchise record of nine such seasons with Ted Williams.

David Price has won back-to-back starts for the first time since winning three straight from May 12-24. The former Ray ranks second in Tampa Bay history in career starts (170), wins (82), and strikeouts (1065; all to James Shields).

HP - Kulpa, 1B - Blakney, 2B - Conroy, 3B - Nauert

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox lost in 11 innings on Wednesday night to the Tampa Bay Rays, but as they wrap up a four-game series Thursday afternoon, the bigger loss could be rookie outfielder Andrew Benintendi.
Benintendi sprained his left knee while running the bases in the seventh inning. He was between second and third when a ground ball was hit to Red Sox shortstop Matt Duffy, who turned and tagged Benintendi. He took one step and landed awkwardly on his leg. He will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of the injury.
