Before a four-game series against the AL East leading New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox have two games in a ballpark where they have struggled immensely. However, they take some momentum into the first one against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight.

The Red Sox are 4-6 against the Rays and have lost three of four in St. Petersburg, where they have won just twice in their last 14 regular-season games. They did win two at Tropicana Field in last year’s AL championship series but also lost two, including Game 7.

Boston’s Jon Lester will be opposed by Matt Garza in a rematch of the ALCS Game 7.

Lester had an 0.90 ERA in winning all three regular-season starts versus the Rays in 2008, but recorded a 4.97 ERA in losing both outings against them in the ALCS.

Garza is 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA in three outings against the BoSox this year.
