<h3>Devil Rays look to end losing ways in Boston</h3>



Tampa Bay (45-73) at Boston (71-47) 7:05 pm EDT


BOSTON (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays will look to reboundTuesday after being shut out by Tim Wakefield and the Boston RedSox during the opener of a three-game series.


Carl Crawford's leadoff single in the seventh inning broke upWakefield's no-hit bid on Monday and helped him get back ontrack. The speedy outfielder had at least two hits in eightstraight games before going hitless on Sunday.


However, Crawford has been one of the few bright spots thisseason for Tampa Bay, which owns the worst record in the majorsand also has traditionally struggled on the road vs. Boston.

The Devil Rays are 7-35 at Fenway Park since 2003, giving themthe lowest winning percentage of any team at any park in themajors. Tampa Bay has not won a series in Boston since winningtwo in 1999.


While Tampa Bay continues to struggle in Boston, Scott Kazmir(9-7, 3.58 ERA) has pitched well against the Red Sox in hiscareer. The lefthander is 5-3 with a 2.55 ERA in 13 startsversus the Red Sox.


Kazmir led the Devil Rays to a 5-2 win over the Red Sox in hislast start against Boston, allowing six hits over six scorelessinnings on July 29.


Boston's Jon Lester (1-0, 6.43) will make his first start athome since being diagnosed with lymphoma during the 2006 season.The lefthander has been terrible since returning to the RedSox.


After winning his first start of the season against theCleveland Indians on July 23, Lester has allowed 13 earned runsin his last three starts. The 23-year-old has surrendered 22hits in 15 innings over that span, striking out 10 while walkingfive.
