The effects of Hurricane Milton rendered Tropicana Field unplayable for 2025, so the Yankees have allowed the Rays use of their spring training site.

The Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox kicked off a three-game series on Monday at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Florida. It was a battle between two American League East teams that have gotten off to average starts in the 2025 campaign. The Rays entered with a 7-8 record and the Red Sox entered at 8-9 on the year.

The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 16-1 last night at Steinbrenner Field. In the game, every Rays hitter reached base safely at least once, and Shane Baz struck out 11. They truly showed what the season can look like going forward.
