BOSTON — Randy Arozarena got twisted around in deep right field on J.D. Martinez’s two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the 12th inning, sending the Boston Red Sox past the Tampa Bay Rays 6-5 on Tuesday night.
The Rays were in line to win before Christian Vazquez belted Diego Castillo’s 0-2 pitch over the Green Monster for a tying homer leading off the ninth.
“We did a good job,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “We didn’t give up. That’s the sign of a good team. ... We won the series against the American League defending champs.
