Key News & Notes
The fact the Red Sox didn’t play yesterday on Memorial Day is awful. The MLB should own Memorial Day and the 4th of July. The fact that four teams didn’t play is not a great idea but they’re back tonight. Ranger Suarez gets the ball against Spencer Strider to start the series. They will also face old friend Chris Sale in the finale of the series.
