Kenley Jansen, Red Sox staff feeling good as Rays visit

 

 

When the Tampa Bay Rays face the Boston Red Sox in a four-game series, they’re unlikely to encounter Kenley Jansen, the Red Sox’s closer, who pitched in the team’s past three games and secured saves in their recent victories.

 

 

 

Despite Tampa Bay’s loss to the New York Yankees, they’re coming off a decent homestand, surrendering five home runs in their last game. Tampa Bay’s manager, Kevin Cash, expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, particularly highlighting Jose Siri’s grand slam.

 

 

 

Boston’s probable starter for Monday’s game is Kutter Crawford, who has been consistent in his recent starts, while Tampa Bay’s Zach Eflin is coming off a win against the Chicago White Sox. This matchup kicks off a series of seven games between Boston and Tampa Bay over the next 10 days.
