BOSTON -- Two pitchers enjoying second-half surges hook up for the second time in less than a week when the Boston Red Sox host the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a three-game series on Tuesday night.Drew Pomeranz, the left-hander the Red Sox acquired from the San Diego Padres in exchange for a top pitching prospect, has turned around a slow start and lost only once in his last five starts.That loss came last Thursday, when Pomeranz struck out a career-high 11 in six innings and fell to the Rays and Odorizzi in St. Petersburg.A lot of strikeouts. Sometimes I like that, sometimes I dont, Pomeranz said after that game dropped his combined NL/AL record to 10-10. I could have took a few quick outs in places to get a couple more innings out there.Pomeranz allowed one run through six but failed to retire either of the first two batters in the seventh and the result was a second straight Red Sox loss to send the team home 7-4 on the long road trip.He has allowed two or fewer runs over his last five starts with a 2.40 ERA over that 30-inning stretch, striking out 31 over that span.It is disappointing, Pomeranz said of the loss. Its always disappointing when you lose. We would have liked to have those last two to complete the road trip. But it happens.His run is lukewarm compared to Odorizzi, 6-0 since the All-Star break with what has to this point been the lowest Tampa Bay ERA (1.59) of any pitcher in club history. He has the second-lowest second-half ERA in the major leagues this season and has not lost since July 10.Odorizzi pitched out of two bases loaded spots in the sixth inning of last Thursdays game.Have to credit (pitching coach Jim Hickey), he said. Great mound visit. He came out and said first-pitch changeup, get a double-play. So thats exactly what we did.Mookie Betts is 5-for-17, Dustin Pedroia 8-for-22, Xander Bogaerts 7-for-20 and Travis Shaw 4-for-10 for the Red Sox against Odorizzi, while David Ortiz is 4-for-22, but with three homers and Jackie Bradley Jr. 2-for-13.On the other side, Matt Duffy, who was with the Giants when Pomeranz was with the Padres, is 4-for-12 against him and Brad Miller 3-for-8 with a homer. Logan Forsythe, also a former Padre (but not an ex-teammate), is 2-for-11 against Pomeranz.Odorizzi will be trying to even the series for his team when he puts his winning streak on the line.The Red Sox rode Rick Porcellos MLB-high 18th win and Betts 30th homer, RBI double, two RBI and two runs scored to a 9-4 win on Monday night.We just got beat tonight, said Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash, whose team is 55-75, 6-8 against the Red Sox. They found a way to get on base, get big key hits with guys on base and it just added up, piled up and was very difficult for us to overcome. Cheap Vapormax 2019 China .

Matt Wilkinsons surfing world title hopes were stung by Brett Simpson in California but a day later, the American wildcard did the Australian a big favour.After Simpson on Friday eliminated Wilkinson - second on the WSL championship standings - in round two, the 31-year-old knocked out series leader John John Florence on Saturday in four-to-six foot waves at Lower Trestles.And to help Wilkinson even more, another American wildcard Tanner Gudauskas took down third-ranked Gabriel Medina, also in round three.The two defeats limited any advantage Florence and Medina may have gained with only three more events remaining on the world tour after Trestles.It wasnt a great day for the Australians overall, with only Joel Parkinson, Josh Kerr and Stuart Kennedy still alive but all facing sudden-death fifth-round heats.Compatriots Mick Fanning, Kai Otton, Jack Freeestone and Adrian Buchan were all sent packing.ddddddddddddJordy Smith and Filipe Toledo, with combined scores of 18.50 and 18.97 respectively, are in red-hot form and moved straight into the quarter-finals along with Gudauskas and Alex Ribeiro.Kelly Slater, who is in good form following his title win in Tahiti last month, can put more pressure on the top three if he can produce another big showing over the pointy end of the event.I started surfing here when I was 12-years-old and it was the first point break Ive ever surfed, said Slater.I just fell in love with the wave. Its always been one of my favourites.The event wont run on Sunday, with organisers set to reconvene early on Monday for the next call on when they proceed. ' ' '
