BOSTON — Los Medias Rojas de Boston deberán esperar un día para tener la oportunidad de acortar distancia frente a los Rays de Tampa Bay, líderes de la División Este de la Liga Americana.
El primer partido de la serie entre ambos programado para el viernes fue pospuesto por lluvia y reprogramado como parte de una doble cartelera para el 8 de junio.
Boston, que conquistó la Serie Mundial, ha ganado cinco de sus últimos siete compromisos y se encuentra 5,5 juegos debajo de Tampa Bay.
Por su parte, los Rays han perdido seis de 11 tras ser barridos en casa por los Medias Rojas en una serie de tres encuentros el pasado fin de semana.

El derecho Josh Smith sería el abridor el viernes en su debut con los Medias Rojas, y Charlie Morton (2-0) estaba asignado para subir al montículo por Tampa Bay. El último partido de Smith, de 31 años, en Grandes Ligas fue con Oakland en 2017, y el viernes había sido llamado de la filial Pawtucket de Triple A.
El zurdo David Price (1-1), de Boston, y el derecho Tyler Glasnow (4-0), de Tampa Bay, sostendrán un duelo el sábado.
