The Red Sox left 11 men on base on Saturday, only four days after stranding a season-high of 13 against the Tigers. Boston was 0-for-8 with RATS and fell 7.5 games behind the Rays.
Tampa Bay scored a very quick run when Yandy Diaz hit David Price's (6-4-2-3-7, 93) second pitch of the day over the Wall in left-center. It was Diaz's seventh homer and his third in the last six games. Tommy Pham doubled to lead off the fourth and scored on Michael Zunino's one-out single to left.
Boston wasted a couple of decent scoring opportunities.
