The Boston Red Sox dropped their first game of the series 1-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night, but there were positives to take away from it.
NESN's Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski look at the 1-0 loss to open the series, but discuss how well Nick Pivetta pitched and how well the pitching did as a whole to keep the still-undefeated Rays' bats cold through seven-plus innings for the first time this season.
The two also provide a positive injury update on Adam Duvall who injured his wrist Sunday, and look to Garrett Whitlock making his 2023 MLB debut Tuesday night at the Trop. Jake and Lauren also provide some positive injury updates as well to other injured pitchers!
