BOSTON: 0 1 0 3 1 1 0 1 1 - 8 12 1
TAMPA BAY: 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 - 4 11 3
A little more than a month left in the regular season and the Boston Red Sox start off September with a win over the Tampa Bay Rays - a team they have had "some' recent problems beating. But the Red Sox had their fourth straight game of double digit hitting and combined with Lester's good pitching, resulted in a victory in the first game of this three-game series. And Papelbon had his first six out save in the regular season. With this outcome in Tropicana Field, Boston has a six game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL Wild Card. Tomorrow the Red Sox will go for their fifth win in a row and the series win.
