The Rays took the first two games of their last series against the Royals, but fell in the final game, 10-2. It was the first time Tampa Bay has allowed at least 10 runs this season -- the Rays allowed 10+ runs in three different games in April last year.

The Red Sox have won five of their last seven games after starting the season 6-13. They have allowed 4.29 runs per game over those seven games after allowing 6.26 runs per game through April 17, second-most in MLB (Mets -- 6.28).

Boston swept Tampa Bay in their first series of the season, as the three games were decided by a total of four runs. The Sox won six of nine in Boston last season despite being outhit, 77-74, in the season series.

Tommy Pham went 2-for-4 against the Royals on Wednesday, his fourth multi-hit game in his last eight. Since being traded to the Rays on July 31 last season, the only AL player with a higher batting average than Pham (.328) is Boston's J.D. Martinez (.345; minimum 150 PA).

J.D. Martinez has recorded at least one hit in 24 of 26 games this season for a total of 33 hits. His 33 hits are his most through 26 team games of a season in his career, besting his mark of 28 hits last year.

Ji-Man Choi has been reactivated after a brief stay on the restricted list having reached base safely in each of his last 10 games. Choi has slashed .370/.455/.593 in 11 games against Boston in his career with two doubles, two triples and four walks.

HP - Eddings, 1B - Miller, 2B - Gonzalez, 3B - Segal

The Boston Red Sox are winless for the first five times Chris Sale has taken the mound but they are feeling some encouragement about the left-hander in the form of improved velocity and strikeouts.
The Red Sox hope Sale can put both together and get his first win of the season Sunday afternoon in the finale of an abbreviated two-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.

Sale still looking for first win as Red Sox host Rays

BOSTON (AP)  Chris Sale is still searching for answers - and a victory, too.
The Boston Red Sox ace  remained winless in six starts this season, giving up Daniel Robertson's two-run homer in the first inning and Yandy Diaz's two-run triple in the second during a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
