On Upswing, Red Sox Try to Crack Rays' Tough Pitching Staff
The Rays earned their 14th win in 16 games and set a franchise record by allowing three or fewer runs for a 16th straight game.
- On Sunday, Junior Caminero hit a solo homer over the Green Monster and Nick Martinez pitched 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 to win the rain-shortened series.
- Tampa Bay has held opponents to three or fewer runs for a franchise-record 16 consecutive games, the first team to accomplish this feat since the 2010 San Francisco Giants did it in 18 straight.
- Caminero launched his 11th homer in the first inning, while Ben Williamson added an RBI single in the third and Cedric Mullins executed a safety squeeze in the sixth to build the lead.
- Boston starter Payton Tolle gave up three runs in five innings, while Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy cited reliever Justin Slaten's return as strengthening the back-end bullpen after his recent activation from injury.
- The Rays travel to Toronto on Monday to start a three-game series with RHP Drew Rasmussen, while the Red Sox have not yet announced a starter for Tuesday against Philadelphia.
