Rays lefty Drew Smyly was the tough-luck loser, giving up two hits and a run over six innings. The first hit Smyly allowed was a leadoff homer by Betts in the sixth that broke a scoreless tie.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Smyly goes five hitless: Smyly made his third start of the season and held the Red Sox scoreless on no hits through five innings before Betts broke the spell when he led off the sixth with a home run over the Green Monster.
Mookie's Monster shots: Betts hasn't had the start he was hoping for at the plate, but he's shown flashes of breaking out of it of late.
