My Comment: The Boston Red Sox have had long games, but starting a game in one month and ending in the next month (at least on the East Coast) is quite an accomplishment of endurance ;) Anyway it was another walk-off win for Boston and it put the Red Sox back in first place. Boston will be going for the sweep tomorrow.

My Comment: A complete game win for the Tampa Bay Rays. At least Boston managed to score a run and not suffer a shutout. Their first place standing is still intact. Let's hope that will be the case after tomorrow's final game of the four-game series.

My Comment: Yes, s little late inning run surge and the Boston Red Sox even the series! And a couple of slumping batters contribute in hitting and geting runs across the plate. The Red Sox need to do two more times against the Rays.
