The Tampa Bay Rays came out on the losing end of another rescheduling, as the Red Sox prevailed in their plan to makeup the April 13 rainout as part of a day-night doubleheader on Aug. 16.
The Rays had hoped to play on Aug. 15, a mutual day off when they would already be in Boston after playing in New York the day before. But the Red Sox, who are coming home from playing in Seattle on Aug. 15, wanted to wait until the 16th.
The teams are already scheduled to play a day game on Aug. 17, so they will play three games in about 27 hours.
The start times on Aug. 16 will be 1:05 and 7:10. The Aug. 17 game starts at 1:35.
