After a day off Friday, the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays will resume their weekend series Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.
Rick Porcello will start on the mound for the Sox in search of his second win of the season. Porcello pitched very well in his first start, only giving up one earned run over 5 1/3 innings as part of a 3-2 win over the Rays on March 31.
The only lineup change for Boston is Sandy Leon replacing Christian Vazquez behind the plate. Leon also will bat ninth.
A win for the Red Sox would be their fifth straight against the Rays this season.
