Rays Rumble Red Sox

TAMPA BAY: 4 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 - 6 5 0

BOSTON: 0 0 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 - 5 11 2

For the first time this season the Boston Red Sox lost a game while hitting in the double digits. It was just a matter time before that happened - it just shouldn't have happened at home during a losing streak. Especially with three Boston homeruns. Of course the Tampa Bay Rays capitalized on the Mike Cameron error in the first inning and scored sixty-six percent of their eventual six total runs. Mike should have stayed in the hospital. Fenway Park better become friendly real soon. Who would have predicted that the Red Sox would have a better road record than home record?? Need a new home direction - one that leads to W, as in win.
