Game 46: Red Sox (24-21) @ Rays (32-12)

By Randy Booth

We call this a "Big Time Series."

The Red Sox kick off a three game set with the Rays tonight. Four of the Red Sox's last five games have been fantastic, though, and they're looking to keep that trend going.

Clay Buchholz makes the start for Boston:

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2010 - Clay Buchholz 5-3 8 8 0 0 0 0 49.2 48 24 18 2 23 35 3.26 1.43

The Rays send out Wade Davis, the team's No. 5 starter who has pitched like an All-Star (the entire rotation has, actually):

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2010 - Wade Davis 4-3 8 8 0 0 0 0 45.2 39 17 17 6 24 34 3.35 1.38
