Red Sox 7, Rays 4

 

Yeah, now THAT'S more like it!  Alex Bregman, Boston's new certified A-list slugger, scores four runs on two homers and an RBI double and single. Jarren Duran homers to deep left center, also scoring Carlos Narváez, and Ceddanne Rafaela hits an RBI single. Walker Buehler (2-1, 5.23) faces 21 batters over five innings, relievers Justin Wilson and Zack Kelly give three solid innings of relief before Kelly got into some trouble in the bottom of the 9th, and closer Aroldis Chapman gets his fourth save of the season by getting the strikeout Boston needed for the win.

See? Isn't winning fun? Let's do this more often!

The road series in Tampa is tied, 1-1. The rubber match is tomorrow, 7:00 pm.
