Well, so much for momentum. The Red Sox had what seemed to be a cathartic blowout on Wednesday, with the bats finally coming alive and scoring a whopping 20 runs on the night. That did not carry over to Thursday. Boston’s bats were kept quiet all night long against what was a bullpen game from Tampa Bay. Tanner Houck did his best to keep his team in the game, but the sixth inning proved to be a bit too much. The Rays took the lead there, and just continued to add to it against the Red Sox bullpen, putting the game out of reach in just a few frames.
