I was initially going to start writing this as an “oh dear, the Rays squandered a tie game and the Red Sox continue to be a thorn in our side” and while those things are still true (the Rays did blow an early tie, and the Red Sox will forever be a thorn), in the seventh inning things got interesting enough that it truly became anyone’s ballgame.
And that’s the thing about the Rays, you can never count them out, can you?
The Rays kicked things off in Boston with a single from Arozarena off Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez.
