Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox Live Stream: How to Watch MLB

The Boston Red Sox go for the series win and their 12th straight win on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Boston Red Sox look to continue dominating this series at home in Game 3 of this four-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday afternoon. The Red Sox are rolling after a Friday doubleheader in which they won both games. Boston dominated in the series opener, 10-0, and then followed that up with a 5-3 victory in the night game. These two played a doubleheader today because the third game of this season’s series, scheduled for early May, was delayed by rain. Tampa Bay still leads this season series 5-3 despite the rough start this weekend. Boston continues to play well out of the gate after the All-Star break. The Red Sox have completely turned their season around by winning their 11th straight on Friday. Since June 25, Boston has only lost two games. On that day, they came in with a 33-46 record. Boston hit .500 for the first time with the win in the second game of the doubleheader at 48-48. The last time the Red Sox were at .500 was on the second day of the season. The first game of the season on March 26 was the last time they were above .500. This is one of the best comebacks in the game this season, but Boston still has work to do in the second half, sitting eight games back of the Rays in the AL East. Tampa Bay is trying to end a three-game losing streak today, but still holds a 2.5-game lead for first over the New York Yankees in the division. Boston is the -120 favorite to win this series on Saturday at home.
