The Tampa Bay Rays can't hang on as they lose to the Boston Red Sox 11-7. The Rays got things started early again in this one. Nick Fortes hit a RBI single to give the Rays a 1-0 lead. The Red Sox would respond in the top of the 2nd to make it 1-1. But then Carson Williams hit a solo homer in the bottom of the 2nd to give the Rays a 2-1 lead. Once again, the Red Sox would quickly tie the game in the top of the 3rd to make it 2-2. But then in the 3rd inning Yandy Diaz would hit his 25th homer of the year to make it 3-2. That score would hold until the top of the 7th when everything would fall apart for the Rays. The Red Sox scored a combined 9 runs in the 7th and 8th innings including a 7 run 8th inning to blow the game open and give Boston a 11-3 lead. The Rays would put up a fight in the 9th. Everson Pereira would hit a grand slam to make the score 11-7. But it was too little too late as the Rays dropped the series opener. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night vs the Red Sox.
