Red Sox Vs. Rays Lineups: Nick Pivetta Starts Series Opener
The Boston Red Sox continue their seven-game road trip against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.
Boston is coming off a series loss to the rival New York Yankees over the weekend while Tampa Bay is riding a two-game losing streak after it split a series with the Cleveland Guardians.
The Red Sox enter Tuesday night four games back of the final American League wild-card spot.
Wilyer Abreu will return to the Red Sox lineup against Tampa Bay right-hander Shane Baz. Triston Casas is back at first base and will bat seventh.
The Red Sox will counter with right-hander Nick Pivetta, who has allowed two runs or less in each of his last three starts.
First pitch from Tropicana Field is scheduled for 6:50 p.m. ET, and you can watch it live on NESN after an hour of pregame coverage.
