The Red Sox will take on the Rays for a three-game-split to start the new week.
The Red Sox are coming off of a series where they were swept by the Orioles, and were ‘beat in every aspect of the game,’ Alex Cora said.
The Red Sox are looking to bounce back, while the Rays are coming in strong at 2-1 on the season. That’s after they went 2-1 against the Marlins to open the new campaign.

4/5 MONDAY: Pivetta vs. Wacha
4/6 TUESDAY: Perez vs. Glasnow
