It was an ugly night of baseball for both teams, but in the end, Mike Napoli was able to make the best of it for Boston.
On a deadline day which saw the Red Sox do a whole lot of nothing as a franchise, the players did a whole lot of scoring against a sloppy Tampa Bay team.
Certainly nobody can claim this game was particularly well played. Or pitched, for that matter. It was not one of Eduardo Rodriguez' best nights, but for once an off-night didn't mean a disaster. He would allow a run in the first on two walks and a single, entirely his fault.
