Drew Pomeranz will be looking for an encore performance on Easter Sunday. The Boston Red Sox left-hander will make his second start of the season Sunday at Fenway Park against the Tampa Bay Rays. Pomeranz dazzled in his first outing, limiting the Baltimore Orioles to one run over six innings while striking out six in Boston’s eventual 8-1 win. The 28-year-old had considerable success against the Rays last season, posting a 3.03 ERA over three starts while striking out 23 batters in 17 2/3 innings pitched. Christian Vazquez will start behind the plate, catching Pomeranz and batting ninth. The rest of the Red Sox’s lineup remains unchanged from... NESN.com

Share this: The Boston Red Sox suffered a disappointing loss at Fenway Park on Friday as they were thumped by the Tampa Bay Rays 10-5. Rick Porcello turned in his worst outing in recent memory.

Tampa Bay’s pop at the plate is what earned it the victory, as Boston actually outhit their American League East rival by a 14-12 margin. However, only three of Boston’s hits went for extra bases (three doubles). Boston’s best scoring opportunity came when it loaded the bases in the fourth inning, but an inning-ending groundout off the bat of Pablo Sandoval
