ST. PETERSBURG -- On Friday, the Red Sox limped into Tampa Bay under a cloud of frustration and uncertainty. They’ll head back north toting a three-game win streak and their first series sweep of the season after a [4-3](https://www.mlb.com/gameday/red-sox-vs-rays/2019/04/21/566676), 11-inning win on Sunday against the Rays at Tropicana Field.\n\nGaining three games on the American League East-leading Rays on their home turf could be just the confidence-builder Boston needs to overcome an early-season funk and get back to their winning ways.\n\n“We’ll figure some things out,” left fielder
Price said showing late-game moxie is a great early measuring stick for how a team responds to pressure: In Boston’s case, by elevating its game.\n\n“We aren’t worried about outside of this clubhouse,” Price added. “We know the type of team we have inside of this clubhouse, and I think we showed that these last three days.”\n\n**The starters have turned a corner** \nPrice fanned a season-high 10 batters over five innings Sunday and held the Rays to a pair of runs on five hits. The left-hander owns a 1.32 ERA over his last six games at Tropicana Field and has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts against his former team. \n\n[Eduardo Rodriguez](https://forge-web.cms.mlbinfra.com/#/wcm/custom/player/3b44db37-18a8-49c3-80fa-79c3305b59e5) (Friday’s starter) and [Rick Porcello](https://forge-web.cms.mlbinfra.com/#/wcm/custom/player/b59a1849-6c83-4e21-9ff5-2f6d54646045) (Saturday's) similarly limited Tampa Bay’s damage and put their team in the best position to take late control of the game. It’s great news for the Red Sox, who were plagued by rotation issues early on, but appear to be settling in despite losing [Nathan Eovaldi](https://forge-web.cms.mlbinfra.com/#/wcm/custom/player/689fc472-5af0-4bbd-8c6c-5c4c546a002e) to the [10-day injured list on Saturday](https://www.mlb.com/redsox/news/nathan-eovaldi-to-injured-list-with-elbow-injury).\n\nThe difference is remarkable: The starting corps are 2-3 with a 3.21 ERA over the past nine games compared to an 8.79 ERA in their first 13.
**The kid can hold his own** \nIt’s not likely Chavis will be with the Major League club for an extended period, but Boston’s [No. 1 prospect](http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2019?list=bos) according to MLB Pipeline sure gave the Red Sox reason to remember his name.\n\nIn his Major League debut Saturday, Chavis provided the ninth-inning spark that put the winning run at third, crushing a pinch-hit double to the wall in center field. With the knock, Chavis became the first Red Sox player to record an extra-base hit in his first Major League plate appearance since
