BOSTON -- Rick Porcellos performance has flown under the radar this season.He didnt make the American League All-Star team despite a 10-2 record and 3.82, but hes been one of the bright spots for a shaky Boston Red Sox pitching staff.Porcello will try to keep that trend going in Saturday afternoons game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park, the second of a three-game series that takes both teams into the All-Star break.After signing a five-year, $82.5 million deal before even throwing a pitch and struggling through a 9-15 campaign last year, nobody knew what Porcello would give the Red Sox going forward.Thus far, Boston has received 10 victories from a pitcher who won 15 games with the Detroit Tigers in 2014.Porcello is 4-0 with five no-decisions in his last nine starts. He gave up 12 hits and four runs (three earned) in six innings against the Los Angeles Angels last Sunday, but cruised behind his teams 21-hit attack, adding another notch to his Fenway belt.He did bend, he didnt break, Red Sox manager John Farrell said that day, noting, Pors has been extremely comfortable at home here.He is 7-0 in eight starts at Fenway Park, making him one of three pitchers in the major leagues without a loss in the first eight home starts of the 2016 season.Porcello is 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA against Tampa Bay this season and 7-4 lifetime, and his seven straight quality starts against the Rays is the longest active streak in the big leagues.Tampa hitters have some impressive numbers against Porcello. Evan Longoria is 8-for-13, Logan Forsythe is 6-for-17 and Steven Sousa Jr. is 6-for-15.Brad Miller is 2-for-8, but both Miller hits have been home runs.Meanwhile, the Red Sox are dealing with all kinds of injuries as they look to complete a 6-2 homestand -- losing All-Star utility man Brock Holt, among others, to a left ankle sprain in Fridays 6-5 win.Rays left-hander Matt Moore, still completing his comeback from Tommy John surgery that ruined his 2014 and 15 seasons, has won two straight starts for the first time since Sept. 24 and 29, 2013.On Saturday, he hopes to give Tampa Bay its fourth win in its last 24 games.He has thrown at least six innings in six straight starts and is 3-1 with a 2.43 ERA in his last five outings.Moore is 4-4 with a 4.67 ERA lifetime against the Red Sox, but held them hitless for the first five innings and scoreless for seven in St. Petersburg June 29 -- and has a string of 12 2/3 scoreless innings against them.Despite constant trade rumors, Moore remains focused on the task at hand.Theres things that are going on in our clubhouse that are on the forefront of my mind right now, and thats just to get us back into a good place, which is winning more games than Im losing, Moore said.That other stuff, I still feel very comfortable right now. Im not really sure whats going on there. I dont feel like anythings going to happen, to be honest with you.David Ortiz, who has done extensive damage to the Rays over the years, is 8-for-23 with three homers and eight RBI against Moore, while Mookie Betts is 5-for-9 and Xander Bogaerts and Travis Shaw both 5-for-10.Jackie Bradley Jr. is just 1-for-8 while Dustin Pedroia is 4-for-20 (one homer) off of Moore.

MOSCOW -- Russia is trying to stop the retractable field at a World Cup stadium from shaking.Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko said the field at the 68,000-seat stadium in St. Petersburg has been experiencing problems with the mechanism that allows it to be stored outside and wheeled in for games.He denied it will cause further delays for the arena, which is due to host Confederations Cup games next summer and one of the World Cup semifinals in 2018.The issue is that the field rolls into the stadium on an unstable base and needs to be strengthened, Mutko said while visiting the stadium Thursday in comments reported by local media, adding that the problem was nothing unusual and the stadium would still meet its completion date next month.An issue was identified with the pitch stabilization during an inspection by FIFA officials on Monday, footballs world governing body said in an e-mailed statement.The authorities have acknowledged the challenges and it was agreed that engineers will shortly propose a solution to ensure a stable playing field.ddddddddddddFIFA will monitor the situation.Earlier, the deputy governor of St. Petersburg said FIFA inspectors also had concerns about access to the stadium and nearby training fields, Russian agency R-Sport reported.The venue, which has been hit by repeated construction delays, allows the field to be stored outside and retracted for games, allowing the grass to grow better and avoid damage when non-sports events are held in the stadium.Construction on the stadium, located on an island in the River Neva estuary, began a decade ago and has seen repeated delays and dramatic cost increases to around 43.8 billion rubles ($690 million). The company building the stadium was replaced earlier this year following a dispute with the city government.As well as the shaking field, other problems related to the construction of the stadium have included embezzlement inquiries and the deaths of at least eight workers.
