Tampa Bay Blasts Boston

BOSTON: 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 - 4 5 1

TAMPA BAY: 0 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 2 - 6 8 2

Another road game, another loss. At least it wasn't a shutout and it was tied going into the ninth. The homerun was the downfall for the Boston Red Sox at Charlotte Sports Park today and the Tampa Bay Rays produced three of them and that made all the difference in the ballgame. The three blasts were given up by two relief pitchers, Adam Mills and Kris Johnson, but the starter Felix Doubront did well. Hitters kept Boston in the game, but in the end it wasn't enough. Tomorrow the Red Sox play another road game. Let's hope they can finally win one away from home.
