Red Sox aim to avert sweep in finale vs. Rays

The Boston Red Sox look to avoid a costly sweep as they host the Tampa Bay Rays in the finale of a three-game series Wednesday night. The Red Sox (79-62) have dropped three straight to see their grip on the second American League wild card drop to two games over the suddenly surging Toronto BlueJays, who have won six in a row. The New York Yankees, also in the midst of a slump, maintain a half-game lead over Boston for the first wild card.
