David Price was on the mound for the Red Sox, pitching in his fourth game at Tropicana Field since leaving the Rays in 2014. He labored through 6 1/3 innings, giving up four runs. He allowed a homer and an RBI double to Brandon Guyer, who was activated from the disabled list before the game.
Boston only had two other hits outside of the sixth inning. The Rays had allowed at least five runs in each of the last 13 games, a fact that manager Kevin Cash called "shocking." But they ended that streak while earning their second win in the last 14 games.
