| An almost exact reversal of last game's final score, as Rays avoid the sweep and halt the Sox winning streak at four. John Lester absorbs the loss with a sloppy outing, only going 4 allowing all 6 Rays runs and walking four. Clay Buchholz (also sloppy with four walks in three innings) and Javier Lopez finish up. 11 Rays left on base, with 10 of those in the first five innings. The Sox magic muber does drop to 8 however, as the Blue Jays lost. Side note: In the last Phillie blog, I errored in which teams were ahead of them in the homer department. It is the Brewers and the Reds, not the Brewers and Cubs. |

In a lop-sided win the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were certainly pleased to stop the
bleeding as their 5 game losing streak was finally halted and ripped the
Boston Red Sox by a 6 to 1 count.
Edwin Jackson(6-14) pitched a solid game. He was reached for 5 hits and 1 walk
in 7 innings. Jackson mowed down 8 Boston batters. Neither team managed to
score after the 4th inning.
Jon Lester(2-4) was the loser. He was touched for 7 hits and 4 walks in 4
innings.
