BOSTON -- After a flight to Boston on Sunday and a long night of rest, the Rays showed up at Fenway Park Monday knowing the memories of a dramatic 11th inning win in Game Two won't help them much in Boston.

"Honestly, the confidence drives from the fact that we're one and one, and we feel much better about that as opposed to being zero and two. But it comes down to the pitching," said manager Joe Maddon. "Their guy [Jon Lester] is very good and he has been very hot. Our guy [Matt Garza] also has got very good stuff and is very capable of equalling it or surpassing it. It just comes down to your starting pitching, and that's where momentum lies on any given night in baseball, so we'll just see how this game begins.''
