Red Sox-Rays Preview

(AP) -- Given the way he's been swinging the bat and his recent feud with Tampa Bay's David Price, Boston slugger David Ortiz surely would be disappointed if he can't go Friday night.

With Ortiz questionable to play, the visiting Red Sox try to stop the Rays' season-best winning streak as Jon Lester takes on Price in what could be each red-hot left-hander's final start for his respective club.

Price (10-7, 3.06 ERA) faces the fading Red Sox (47-55) for the first time since beaning Ortiz on May 30, setting the tone for a bench-clearing brawl in the fourth inning of Tampa Bay's 3-2, 10-inning loss at Fenway Park.
