The Red Sox have one more win (5-4), one more run (44-43), and one more hit (83-82) than Tampa Bay over their nine meetings this season. The Rays won the season series each of the previous two years (10-9 both years).

Boston has the fourth-best record in the American League (69-54, .561), but leads the AL with a +116 run differential. The Red Sox also lead the majors in runs per game (5.50) and batting average (.285).

The Rays are 18-16 (.529) since the All-Star break, compared to 34-54 (.386) before. Their win percentage improvement from the first half to the second (+.143) is the second largest in the majors (Reds, +.258).

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).

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.

Red Sox-Rays preview

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)  To earn his first major league save, Enny Romero emerged from the bullpen with a one-run lead and one job - set down Boston slugger David Ortiz for the final out.
Romero did it, getting Big Papi to look at strike three Thursday to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 2-1 win over the Red Sox for a four-game split.
