Rays, Red Sox Playing for Pride in Season Finale The visiting Tampa Bay Rays will aim to complete a three-game sweep as they meet the Boston Red Sox in their regular season finale on Sunday. With both teams currently holding identical records of 80-81, the outcome of this game will decide who finishes third in the American League East. For both sides, it’s about ending a disappointing season on a positive note. Rays Eyeing Sweep and Avoiding Losing Season After taking the first two games of the series, including a 7-2 win on Saturday, the Rays will look to cap off the year by avoiding their first losing season since 2017. The Rays have had their ups and downs, but a strong performance on Sunday could ensure a .500 finish and some solace heading into the offseason. Junior Caminero provided the highlight on Saturday, hitting a two-run home run off Boston starter Kutter Crawford, who allowed his 34th home run of the season—the most by any major league pitcher this year. Despite the setback, Boston manager Alex Cora defended Crawford’s season. "If you look at his season overall, it was a solid one," Cora said. "This is a kid ... he understands how to pitch. Uses both sides of the plate. He can go up, he can go down. He's a guy we expect him to keep getting better. He's been good for us." For Tampa Bay, a major positive was the continued strong showing by reliever Drew Rasmussen, who pitched two scoreless innings on Saturday. Returning from elbow surgery, Rasmussen ends the year with a 2.83 ERA over 28 2/3 innings as a reliever. "It wasn't perfect (Saturday), but you just look back over where I've been over the last 18 months or so, and I'm truly just blessed to have the opportunity to be back playing on the field," Rasmussen said. "Pretty good year, and we're excited about things moving forward." Probable Starters: Ryan Pepiot vs. Quinn Priester The Rays will start Ryan Pepiot (8-7, 3.64 ERA), who has been consistent throughout the season. Despite taking the loss in a 2-1 game against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, Pepiot allowed just two runs on three hits over five innings, striking out six and walking four. Impressively, Pepiot has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 12 of his past 13 starts. Pepiot has limited experience against the Red Sox but has fared well, recording 15 strikeouts over 10 innings in two career starts against Boston with a 3.60 ERA. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are expected to start Quinn Priester (2-6, 5.04 ERA), who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates in July. This will be Priester's first start for Boston, after spending time with Triple-A Worcester to work on his mechanics. Priester went 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in nine starts for Worcester and 4-2 with a 4.38 ERA overall in 16 Triple-A starts this year. The right-hander has focused on mechanical adjustments that have helped improve the performance of all his pitches, which he attributes to a rise in confidence. "Ultimately making some mechanical adjustments that felt really natural and led to better performance of all my pitches," Priester said. "And feeling that and seeing that just let the confidence build up to where it should be." Red Sox Struggling Down the Stretch For the Red Sox, it’s been a tale of two halves this season. Boston was 10 games over .500 at the All-Star break but has struggled significantly since, posting a 27-38 record. The team's home struggles continued, with a 37-43 record at Fenway Park, being outscored by 33 runs in those games. Saturday’s 7-2 loss marked the Red Sox’s third straight defeat, during which they've scored a combined four runs. Manager Alex Cora, while optimistic about some of his players' individual performances, knows the team needs a more complete approach if they are to close out the year positively. Key Players to Watch Junior Caminero (Rays): Caminero has shown potential with his power and will look to contribute again after his two-run shot on Saturday. Drew Rasmussen (Rays): The reliever, who has battled back from surgery, will aim to end his season on a high note, continuing his recent solid performances. Kutter Crawford (Red Sox): Despite allowing the most home runs in the league, Crawford has had moments of brilliance and will be looking to reflect on the positives as the Red Sox head into the offseason. Quinn Priester (Red Sox): Making his first start for Boston, Priester will try to show he can be a part of the rotation next season with a strong showing in the season finale. Pride and Positioning at Stake The outcome of Sunday’s game will determine who finishes third in the American League East, with both teams sitting at 80-81. For Tampa Bay, avoiding a losing record is a significant incentive, especially given their consistent performance in recent years. For Boston, a victory would at least allow them to finish the year with some pride after a challenging second half. Both teams will be playing for pride, and with a chance to finish the year on a high note, expect a competitive game as these AL East rivals close out their 2024 campaigns.
