The Red Sox defeated the Rays 9-5 in 11 innings on Tuesday. Rays prospect Wander Franco tied the game at 5-5 in the fifth inning with a three-run home run for the first hit of his Major League career, but Boston scored four times in the 11th to secure the win.
Boston and Tampa play again tonight at 7:10 p.m.
Also tonight, the Revolution host the New York Red Bulls at 7 p.m. It’s the first game at Gillette Stadium since the state allowed large sports venues to reopen at full capacity.
Alex Cora’s explanation of his team’s mentality: Through a little under half of the Major League regular season, the Red Sox are currently 44-29.
