Rays-Red Sox Postponed, Game to Be Made up July 17
The makeup game will be part of a day-night doubleheader, with both teams expected to use Saturday’s scheduled starters on Sunday.
- The Red Sox-Rays game at Fenway Park was postponed about 15 minutes before the scheduled start due to "significant rainfall." The American League East rivals will play a split doubleheader on July 17 to make up the contest.
- Rain began pouring just before pitchers were set to warm up, forcing the tarp to remain on the infield as forecasts called for steady precipitation into the night.
- Right-Hander Nick Martinez is set to face Boston lefty Payton Tolle, who carries a 2.04 ERA; the Rays enter with a 25-13 record while the Red Sox are 17-22.
- The Red Sox won the second game of the rain-shortened series 2-0 on Friday, snapping the Rays' seven-game winning streak, while both teams are expected to use their slated starters on Sunday.
- When the center-field video board announced the postponement, loud boos rang out from the sparse crowd at Fenway Park braving the elements, as the split doubleheader will include both the makeup game and the regularly scheduled contest.
