The Boston Red Sox franchise slugger offered a four-word response as Marcelo Mayer takes over his old position.

Marcelo Mayer’s first major league home run was greeted by a chorus of boos as he rounded the bases at New York’s Yankee Stadium last week.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins is sticking by the story he told about his father playing for the New York Yankees, despite no evidence that he actually did.

Tampa Bay could win their sixth game over the past nine as they’ve been on a hot streak to start June (6-3 overall). The Rays have also won eight-straight games with Littell pitching after losing the first five with him.

The Rays (-110 moneyline odds to win) and the Red Sox (-109) will square off in an expected tight matchup. The starting pitchers are Shane Baz (5-3) for the Tampa Bay Rays, and Brayan Bello (2-1) for the Boston Red Sox.

By reaching 25 steals against the Red Sox on Tuesday, José Caballero achieved a feat the Rays had only seen from Carl Crawford, B.J. Upton and Josh Lowe.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony recorded his first career big-league hit on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays (GameTracker), just 24 hours after making his MLB debut. Anthony's hit came with runners on second and third and two outs in the bottom of the first.
