FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Jackie Bradley Jr. belted a solo homer down the right-field line to lead a balanced attack as the Red Sox downed the Rays, 7-2, on Friday afternoon at JetBlue Park.
Joe Kelly, the favorite to land the fifth starter job for Boston, started for the Sox, allowing two hits and a walk over two scoreless innings with one strikeout.
Rays ace Chris Archer fired two hitless innings while allowing two baserunners. The righty walked none and struck out one.
"I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish and that was be over the plate as much as I possibly could with everything," Archer said.
