• The starting line-up for the Red Sox is as follows:
• The starting line-up for the Rays is as follows:
• The Tampa Bay Rays did enough to inch closer to the New York Yankees in the American League East race. The Rays hope to do enough to avoid letting another team move closer to them in the AL wild-card race Monday afternoon when they host the Boston Red Sox in the opener of a three-game series in St. Petersburg, Fla.
• Tampa Bay is the AL’s second wild-card team with a one-game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays, who visit the Baltimore Orioles for a doubleheader Monday to open a four-game series. The Rays also are five games behind the New York Yankees for the lead in the AL East.
• The Rays saw their five-game winning streak end Sunday afternoon when Shawn Armstrong allowed Aaron Judge’s 53rd homer two pitches into the game, and the offense did little in a 2-1 loss to the Yankees.
• David Peralta had two of the six hits, but Tampa Bay went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and struck out 12 times, including a game-ending called third strike on Yandy Diaz with two on.
• Despite Sunday’s loss, the Rays are 20-9 since Aug. 3.
• Two of Tampa’s losses during its run occurred Aug. 26-27 in Boston when the Red Sox won the first two meetings of a three-game series.
• The Red Sox lost the first two games of a series in Minnesota but are on their first five-game winning streak since a seven-game winning streak back in June.
• Boston heads into its final series with the Rays 7 1/2 games behind Toronto for the final wild-card spot while also trailing Baltimore, the Twins, Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox. During its winning streak, Boston has scored 34 runs.
• On Sunday, the Red Sox completed a four-game sweep of the visiting Texas Rangers when Trevor Story hit a three-run homer while Xander Bogaerts had three hits for his eighth straight multi-hit game. Bogaerts is 18-for-32 (.563) with a homer and 10 RBIs during that stretch.
• Top prospect Triston Casas also made his major league debut in place of veteran first baseman Eric Hosmer, whose back issue may keep him out for the rest of the season.
• Tampa Bay will turn to Luis Patino (1-1, 3.95 ERA) in the first game of the series. He picked up a win against the Kansas City Royals in his most recent outing, allowing four hits in 5 2/3 scoreless innings while walking two and fanning four. Patino is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two career starts against the Red Sox.
• Boston will counter with Michael Wacha (10-1, 2.56), who is 7-0 with a 2.65 ERA in his past nine starts. He continued the winning streak Wednesday when he allowed two runs on four hits in six innings of a 6-5 win in Minnesota. Wacha is 2-3 with a 6.75 ERA in five career starts against the Rays.
