The first weekend of interleague play is in the books and these two teams are ready for an AL East showdown to kick off an exciting week.
Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays
Boston won two of three games in Philadelphia, including an 8-3 victory on Sunday over Phillies ace Roy Halladay, grabbing a series victory in the year’s first interleague weekend. The Red Sox will now continue a six-game road trip, heading to Tropicana Field to take on the first-place Rays. The road team will certainly have revenge on its mind, after being swept by the Rays at Fenway in a four-game home series back on 4/16-4/19/10. During that series, Boston was outscored 24-9, losing all four games as a home favorite (-592). Being 10-14 against the division has done the Red Sox no favors (-780), as they are 8.5 games back of the Rays heading into this three-game set.
