It was Jack Leiter vs Yonny Chirinos for the second time in 6 days at Fenway and although the Rays didn't repeat their 16-2 blowout of the Red Sox in that matchup, they took a 5-2 decision today. Leiter did not look long for the game in the early innings. He gave up 5 hits and 2 runs in the 2nd, and then two more hits in the 3rd, making a total of 8 hits allowed in 2 1/3 innings. But he retired the final 11 Red Sox he faced and came away with a fine 6 8 2 2 0 7 performance to go to 6-3 and lower his ERA to 4.95. Jordan Diaz, Jose Alvarado and Daniel Espino (picking up save #2) pitched a scoreless 7th, 8th and 9th respectively. As has been the custom lately, the offense primarily came via the home run. Jhon Diaz had a 2-run homer (#14) off Chirinos in the 2nd, and Jasson Dominguez (#28) and Bobby Witt Jr (#20) went back-to-back in the 4th to make it 4-2. Connor Kirkley added an RBI single in the 6th for the 5th run.

Team record: 73-32. Next up: 2 games at home vs Arizona, when we welcome Gavin Lux back to pick up his World Series ring.

Alex Buitrago update: In his Rays organization debut, Buitrago hit a pair of homers and drove in 4 for Montgomery in an 11-1 win. Not too shabby.
