KEY GAME INFORMATION
BOSTON: BOSTON (AP) - Last season was one to remember for fans of the Red Sox - and one to forget for the players.
Soon after Boston's third World Series championship in 10 years, that bearded bunch decided to put it behind them and focus on what they must do to keep winning.
''It was a dream come true last year,'' pitcher Jake Peavy said. ''It's a new year. I think that's been a slogan of ours on the text messages that we've been exchanging with the guys, `Hey turn the page, it's a new year, it's 2014.' We haven't done anything and, obviously, some teams in our division got awfully better.''
The Red Sox won't be sneaking up on them, not after rebounding from a 69-93, last-place finish in the AL East to a 97-65 record, a 28-win improvement.
''You've got the bull's-eye on your back,'' second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. ''You want to get everybody's best, so I think it's going to be a fun challenge for everybody.''
John Farrell's disciplined, businesslike approach worked in his first year as Boston's manager. That, and the influx of players to improve the toxic clubhouse chemistry, made the one season under the animated Bobby Valentine seem like a distant memory.
Those players, including Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino, return. The Red Sox lost center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to the New York Yankees then signed Grady Sizemore as a possible replacement. Sizemore missed the last two seasons with knee and back injuries that required surgery but has had a healthy, productive spring training.
''In this group, no one's going to let anybody sit back and relax,'' Pedroia said. ''We're always going to push each other and make sure that we're respecting the game and playing the game the right way. If we do that, we should be all right.''
TAMPA BAY: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Rays feel they have everything it takes to win the World Series and aren't afraid to say it.
The budget-minded franchise that's played into October four out of the past six seasons boosted payroll instead of cutting back this winter in hopes of making another strong run for the playoffs.
''The goal is to be the team that plays the last game of the year and win,'' third baseman Evan Longoria said.
''I felt like we were really close to breaking through last year,'' the three-time AL All-Star added. ''And with the team that we have this year, I'm really excited to go out and try to prove to ourselves that we are good enough to do that.''
The Rays won 92 games a year ago, including a Game 163 tie-breaker to claim a wild-card spot, and have compiled the second-best record in baseball over the past six seasons.
That's not enough for manager Joe Maddon and a hungry collection of players who reported to spring training feeling as if there's unfinished business to tend to after losing to eventual World Series champion Boston in the AL division round.
''I love that our guys feel and think that way. I think it's great,'' Maddon said.
''You'll hear that rhetoric in a lot of clubhouses, whether it's baseball, football or basketball, but you've got to back it up. You have to really believe it. Not just say it,'' he said. ''Some groups say it because they're supposed to say it. Some groups say it because they believe it. Our guys believe it.''
That confidence was bolstered by the Rays' ability to keep most of the key components from last year's roster together, including lefty David Price, who anchors one of baseball's deepest pitching rotations.
Price and just about everybody else expected the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner to be traded, however the Rays wound up giving him a $14 million one-year deal, in addition to re-signing first baseman James Loney and landing free agent closer Grant Balfour in moves that represent a big chunk of a club-record payroll of around $80 million.
Andrew Friedman, the team's vice president of baseball operations, also traded for catcher Ryan Hanigan and infielder Logan Forsythe to give Maddon additional flexibility filling out a batting order around Longoria and 2013 AL rookie of the year Wil Myers.
''Talent can't win every game for you, but it's a good start,'' said Loney, who signed a three-year, $21 million deal - largest since Tampa Bay has given to a free agent since Stuart Sternberg became principal owner.
''If we can stay healthy, if we can do the things we're capable of doing,'' second baseman Ben Zobrist add, ''we certainly have as good or better chance than any other team in the league to win it all.''

*Red Sox-Rays Preview* ======================

By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer

Boston (47-56) at Tampa Bay (50-53), 1:40 p.m. EDT

The Tampa Bay Rays are enjoying the second longest winning streak in franchise history. They now have an opportunity to extend it against a pitcher making his season debut.

The Rays will try to make it 10 straight Sunday at home in the finale of a three-game series with the last-place Boston Red Sox, who have established themselves as sellers as the trade deadline approaches.

Tampa Bay (51-53), on its best run since winning a franchise-record 12 straight in June 2004, kept rolling with Saturday's 3-0 victory for its third shutout during the streak. Rays pitchers have posted a 1.33 ERA and .207 opponent average along the way.

"It's really impressive," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "It's a total team concept going on right now."

They've also won six straight home contests against the Red Sox (47-57), and Chris Archer is charged with keeping it all going.

Archer (6-5, 3.31 ERA) hasn't lost in his last four starts and won his last while giving up three runs - one earned - and six hits in 6 1-3 innings of last Sunday's 5-3 victory in Minnesota.

The right-hander has struggled at home recently with nine earned runs surrendered over 12 innings in starts against Pittsburgh and Toronto.

Boston has also made Archer labor with a 1-2 record and 4.81 ERA in five career starts, in which he's only made it beyond five innings once. That was by far his strongest outing against the AL East foe, and it came most recently with six scoreless innings of four-hit ball while striking out 11 in a 1-0 win on May 23, but he was denied the decision.

David Ortiz is 4 for 9 in this matchup while Mike Napoli and Dustin Pedroia are each 1 for 10 with a combined 10 strikeouts.

Boston, meanwhile, has been outscored 30-11 in five consecutive losses with opponents batting .325.

"I have to say it's been a disappointing week. A little surprising even," general manager Ben Cherington said.

Allen Webster will try to curb that disappointment in his season debut after the Red Sox dealt Jake Peavy to San Francisco on Saturday. It won't take much to upgrade from what the Red Sox got out of Peavy this season - a 1-9 record and 4.72 ERA in 20 starts, including a 15-start winless streak to end his Boston tenure.

Webster, one of the organization's top prospects, struggled in his time with the big league club a season ago, going 1-2 with an 8.60 ERA in seven starts and a relief appearance, none of which came against Tampa Bay.

The right-hander went 4-4 with a 3.10 ERA in 21 starts at Triple-A Pawtucket.

"He has been able to maintain the overall command of stuff more than a year ago," manager John Farrell told MLB's official website. "And he's gotten another 20-plus starts under his belt at the Triple-A level, which when you take back last year, his year at Triple-A was a very good one for us. He's in the process of transitioning to our level here."

Webster will have to contend with Matt Joyce's eight-game hitting streak and Evan Longoria's .382 average over his last eight games versus Boston. Ben Zobrist is 5 for 7 with a home run in the first two games of the series.

The Red Sox's Shane Victorino was out of the lineup Saturday but is 10 for 23 in six games since returning from a hamstring injury.
