No rain in the forecast today for the Rays. Just sunny skies and those Red Sox, who are making the ride up I-75 for the 1:05 p.m. start at Charlotte Sports Park.
The Rays are running out a lineup that could be used often during the regular season. The Red Sox have a number of their regulars in the lineup, so it will be a good test for LHP Ryan Yarbrough, who is making the start and competing for a spot in the bullpen.
