RED SOX V RAYS

SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2018, 6 PM  AT TROPICANA FIELD

TV:  NESN, FOX SPORTS SUN, MLBN (OUT-OF-MARKET ONLY)

BOSTON, 1-1....................................................................................TAMPA, 1-1

BOSTON:

RICK PORCELLO, RHP, 0-0, -.-- ERA

The sinkerballer is looking to deliver a comeback season after struggling last
year.  Porcello is the only American League pitcher to throw 150-plus innings in each
of the last nine seasons.  He led the Red Sox with 33 starts last year.

TAMPA:

ANDREW KITTREDGE, RHP, 0-0. -.-- ERA

The Rays have gone to a new approach this season that will see them use the
"Bullpen Day" as their fifth starter.  They will begin that approach against the Red
Sox with Kittredge on the hill, the righty who got the nod based on his spring
performance.
