Sox look to rebound behind DiNardo
This road trip has not been kind to the Red Sox, who've posted a 2-5 record since leaving Fenway Park's friendly confines last week.
The good news is that Boston will face the Devil Rays twice more before heading home. The Red Sox hold a 71-28 record against the Rays since 2001.
Lenny DiNardo will start for Boston. The left-hander saw his ERA skyrocket from 3.48 to 7.43 in his last start after surrendering seven earned runs on 10 hits in three-plus innings against the Blue Jays. He's enjoyed some success against Tampa Bay, however, striking out six and allowing just one earned run in 4 1/3 career innings against the Rays.
The Rays send right-hander Doug Waechter to the mound, who allowed six runs in 2 2/3 innings April 19 against Boston.
Player to Watch
Designated hitter David Ortiz is 4-for-14 against Waechter, with a double, two homers, a walk and three RBIs.
