Arrow Game 43: Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox

The longest game that they've played this year ended with a dramatic 14th-innng walkoff to give the Boston Red Sox (22-21) and 2 to 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays (21-23).

The Red Sox got a nice outing from Garrett Whitlock who permitted just 1 earned run on 6 hits and 2 walks while striking out 7 in 7-innings of play; Game Score 66. The next 7-innings of scoreless relief work came from Nick Pivetta (2-innings, 1 walk), Liam Hendriks (2-innings, 1 hit), Joely Rodriguez (2 2/3 innings, 2 walks), and winning pitcher Kenley Jansen (2-2) who pitched 1/3 of an inning. Boston's offense was powered by Ceddanne Rafaela (3 for 6, 2 Doubles, Run), Masataka Yoshida (3 for 6, Double, RBI), and Tyler O'Neill (2 for 5, Double, RBI, Sacrifice Fly, Stolen Base).

The Rays missed a prime opportunity for the win, as they wasted the strong outing of Jeffrey Springs who allowed just 1 earned run on 4 hits while striking out 6; Game Score 76. Pete Fairbanks (1-inning, 1 hit and 1 wild pitch) and Taj Bradley (3-innings, 1 walk and 4 hits) kept the opposition off the scoreboard but Ryan Pepiot (0-3) was tagged with the loss after he permitted 1 earned run on 2 hits and 1 walk. The Tampa Bay offense was generated by Jose Siri (2 for 5, Double, RBI) and Jose Caballero (1 for 2, Double).

Player of the Game: Jeffrey Springs

AL East Standings: 3 1/2 GB, 2nd Place
