Game 1: The Rays routed the Red Sox 10-2 in the series opener at Publix Park behind a strong start from Tim Johnson and plenty of offense. Johnson went to 2-0 after a 6 5 2 2 0 7 outing and the newly-recalled Chris Giles went the final 3 for his first MLB save. Jon Morales led the offense with a 2-4, 4-RBI performance including a 3-run homer (#6). Luis Barela (#6) and Jon McGovern (#4) added solo shots while Ruben Ramirez had a 2-run blast (#4).

Game 2: Boston get even with the Rays thanks to a 6-2 win in which Alec McInerney was roughed up. The lefty dropped to 2-2 after going 3 7 6 6 0 3 with a pair of homers allowed. Jon Morales' 2-run homer in the bottom of the 1st (#7) briefly tied the game up but that was it for the offense today.

Game 3: The pendulum swung back in Tampa Bay's favor as they blasted Boston again 12-5. Ismael Morales had a career game, going 4-5 with a 2-run homer, his first since 2049. Ruben Ramirez was 3-5 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI, Jon McGovern was also 3-5 with a double and 2 RBI, and Luis Barela was 2-3 with 2 walks and 2 RBI. Rogelio Espinoza evened his record at 2-2 despite a weird start which saw him load the bases in the first and then give up a grand slam; he settled in after that and finished with a bizarre 5 1 4 4 5 5 line.

Game 4: Boston took a split of the series and moved to within 1/2 game of the Rays just as they were when the series started after a 7-3 win. Another Rays starter turned in a lousy outing with Melvin Lopez (1-2) going 3.2 8 6 3 1 2 and not helped by his defense which made a couple of key errors. Ezequiel Avalos' 3-run homer (#6) in the 4th was the extent of the Tampa Bay scoring.

Team record: 13-7. Next up: 3 games in Detroit.
