| The Rays end the Sox 6 game winning streak, with a lot of help from Doug Mirabelli. Not only does Mirabelli go 0 for 4 and whiffs 4 times, he commits two costly mistakes in the field that until the 9th inning was the difference in the game. In the 4th after a Dustan Mohr triple, Mirabelli passes his balls (lol) and lets Mohr trot home when he can't handle a Wake knuckler, which at the time tied the game 3-3. Next inning, good ol' Dougie strikes again. With one out, he drops a Carlos Pena easy foulout for an error, giving Pena new life and he walks. Greg Norton then flies out for what should have been the third out of the inning, but thanks to the dropped foulout it is only out number two. Next batter Delmon Young rips one over the wall for the 2-run blast, giving Tampa the lead that they would never relinquish. Tim Wakefield's pitching didn't help either, 8 hits and 7 runs (only 4 earned) with 5 walks in 5 1/3. Manny Declarmen, after only allowing 4 hits and one run in almost 12 innings so far, picks a bad time to suck and allows a Ty Wiggington 3-run homer to make the lead 6 runs and take Dougie off the hook. David Ortiz is the bright spot on offense for the Sox, with a 2-run homer and RBI double. |

At Fenway Park the Boston Red Sox were battered 10 to 5 by the Tampa Bay Devil
Rays.
Boston was unable to claim the lead after Tampa Bay went ahead in the top of
the 5th inning scoring 2 runs. After an out was recorded, Carlos Pena got
things rolling when he reached on an error. Pena came next and he drew a
walk. After another out, Delmon Young stepped up to the plate and he cleared
the fences for a two-run home run (his 9th of the season). Tampa Bay had 11
hits for the afternoon.
Edwin Jackson(3-9) got the win allowing 4 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings. The loss
was charged to Tim Wakefield(5-9). He was knocked around by Tampa Bay,
allowing 8 hits and 5 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.
Tampa Bay now has a record of 39-44. With this loss, Boston has a 6-4 record
of late, 46-37 overall.
