Overview

  • The Red Sox announced the postponement roughly 15 minutes before the 4:10 p.m. start Saturday as rain intensified at Fenway, drawing boos from fans in the park.
  • The game will be made up as the first leg of a split doubleheader on Friday, July 17 at 1:35 p.m., and tickets from Saturday will be valid for that day game.
  • The change reset rotations, moving Boston’s Payton Tolle to start Sunday against Tampa Bay’s Nick Martinez and pushing Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen to Monday in Toronto.
  • The series resumed Sunday with the Rays winning 4-1 behind Junior Caminero’s solo homer and 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball from Martinez.
  • Bettors were urged to check house rules, as many sportsbooks void wagers if a postponed game is not played within 48 hours or if listed players do not appear.
