Worcester Red Sox LHP Alec Gamboa (1-2, 4.50) vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders RHP Adam Kloffenstein (1-3, 5.80)

May Finale - The Worcester Red Sox - who had their 4-game winning streak snapped last night - close out the month of May today when they play the finale of their 6-game set against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA-Yankees) this afternoon at 1:35 pm at PNC Field in Moosic, PA. Worcester is 10-14 this month, so they will suffer their worst month since either 2023 or 2021 depending upon today's result. The WooSox had their worst month in their 5 year & 2 month history during their inaugural season of 2021 when they went 10-16 in July. A win this afternoon would improve the Sox to 11-14 in May which would match their worst months in both 2022 & 2023 when they went 11-14 in April both of those years. Worcester has been remarkably consistent in their history and rarely have had losing months. Their worst months in each of the last two seasons were July of 2024 and July of 2025 when they finished 10-13 both of those years.

MayeDay at Polar Park - Today's game in Moosic, PA can be heard back in New England on NASH 98.9 FM. But while the WooSox will be completing their series against Scranton/WB today some 260 miles away from Worcester, Polar Park will still be a happening place later this afternoon and evening. The inaugural MayeDay Celebrity Softball Classic, benefitting Drake and Ann Michael Maye's MayeDay Family Foundation, will be played at Polar Park with gates opening at 5:00 pm. Media availability will take place on the field from 5:00 - 5:45 pm. There will be a HR Derby at 6:00 pm, a Golden Arm contest at 6:45 pm, and the game at 7:05 pm, and then fireworks follow. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel will coach one team while Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will coach the other team. Former Patriot Julian Edelman along with current Pats such as Christian Gonzalez, Hunter Henry, Will Campbell, Pop Douglas, Rhamondre Stevenson, Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins, Marcus Jones and many other Patriots will be in attendance. NHL Hall of Famer Zdeno Chara, USA Hockey gold medalist Megan Keller and celebrities Dave Portnoy and Matt Rife are just some of the other name folks who will join Drake and Ann Michael (and Drake's three brothers) for this special charity event at Polar Park. Over 8,500 tickets have been sold, but a limited number of general admission tickets remain. Fans can visit MayeDay.org for more information.
