My Comment: Thank you Rays for not knowing how to play Fenway Park's outfield. Tampa Bays's defense and Boston's offense combined to provide a first game win for the Red Sox. Let's hope such cooperation continues in the series, resulting in a sweep of Tampa Bay by Boston. Looking forward to it!

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.

My Comment: Why oh why didn't Farrell keep Doubront in the game? Even though the Red Sox won in dramatic fashion, Dooubront deserved to try for a complete game shutout of the Rays. Instead, the relief pitcher gives up the Rays only run, thus forcing the Red Sox to bat in the bottom of the ninth and the reliever gets the win. It is just not right.
