In back-and-forth affair, Rays beat Red Sox

BOSTON -- Backed by a nice escape from the bullpen in the bottom of the seventh and a go-ahead, two-out, RBI double by Steven Souza Jr. in the eighth, the Rays rallied to a 12-8 victory over the Red Sox on Thursday afternoon at Fenway Park.

Red Sox ace David Price couldn't hold an early 5-1 lead, giving up nine hits and eight runs in 3 2/3 innings. The go-ahead hit by Souza came against Red Sox righty William Cuevas, who took the loss in his Major League debut. Boston finished a 4-6 homestand while the Rays, who have won four of their last five, will continue their road trip at Yankee Stadium.
