The Boston Red Sox will try to put some ice on the red hot Tampa Bay Rays today when they play the second game of a 3-game set at Fenway. Tampa turns to Yonny Chirinos to throw strikes. He might be winless on the season at 0-1 but has a very respectable 2.92 ERA, with a 1.05 WHIP. Boston will counter with the cagey veteran southpaw, David Price. Last year is a distant memory for Price. He is back to what he does best and that is deliver. Price is 2-2, with a 2.93 ERA, and a 1.16 WHIP. Tampa has had issues on the road against lefties, going 1-7 in their last 8 against them. The Rays took the first one yesterday, winning 4-3, but that still makes them just 1-6 in their last 7 meetings with Boston, and 2-5 in their last 7 trips to Fenway.
