Griffin Jax Tosses 5 Shutout Innings as Rays Near AL East Title with a 5-1 Victory over the Red Sox
Griffin Jax struck out six and Tampa Bay scored four first-inning runs to stay on track for its fifth AL East title.
- On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Boston Red Sox 5-1, moving closer to their fifth AL East division title. Griffin Jax pitched five shutout innings in Petersburg, Fla.
- Since June 24, the Red Sox have staged a significant turnaround, improving from a 32-46 record and 15 1/2 games back in the AL East to a 52-25 mark. Boston's resurgence has kept them in playoff contention.
- Four first-inning runs off left-hander Patrick Sandoval powered the Rays, with Jonny DeLuca's two-run double and Chandler Simpson's two-run single driving in the early damage. Sandoval recovered to retire 21 of his next 23 batters.
- Boston missed a chance to clinch a playoff spot with Sunday's loss, though the Red Sox could still secure a berth if Houston loses. Trevor Story homered in the ninth to spoil the shutout.
- The Rays will face the New York Yankees in a Tuesday doubleheader to pursue their fifth division title. LHP Payton Tolle will start for Boston against the Cleveland Guardians on the same day.
