#Devil rays score series

Tampa Bay LHP Shane McClanahan (8-1, 2.07 ERA) starts the series finale Monday afternoon against RHP Brayan Bello (3-3, 3.89 ERA) in the makeup of Friday’s rainout.The 2023 Tampa Bay Rays season is the 26th season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise and their 16th as the Rays. “I think we sent three different lineups over today.” Then, they took out Brandon Lowe and moved outfielder Josh Lowe into the same spot in the batting order, shifting a couple of fielding positions. First, they removed Siri and inserted Margot. The Rays adjusted their starting lineup twice not long before the game. They recalled right-hander Kaleb Ort and left-hander Brennan Bernardino from Triple-A Worcester, and sent down lefty Ryan Sherriff. The Red Sox made a couple of moves with their bullpen after putting Rodriguez on the IL. The Rays extended their club record to 30 straight successful stolen base attempts when Josh Lowe swiped his 14th in the fifth inning. Red Sox: Placed left-hander Joely Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation. … Jose Siri was scratched with right shoulder discomfort and Brandon Lowe with what was announced as left leg discomfort, but Cash said after the game that Lowe's back “locked up.” “I would anticipate he was going to be pretty sore,” Cash said before the game. … Margot was back in the outfield after running hard into the wall Saturday while trying to make a catch. Rays: Raley was in the lineup after having Saturday off due to a mild intercostal strain. I'm the manager of this team and defensively we’re not good.” I’m the manager of this club,” Cora said. Red Sox starter Tanner Houck (3-5) allowed four runs and five hits with six strikeouts and four walks over five innings. Tampa Bay also scored another run on an error when Margot’s fourth-inning RBI single led to two runs as left fielder Masataka Yoshida bobbled the ball, allowing Isaac Paredes to come home for a 3-1 lead. Rays rookie starter Taj Bradley (4-2) gave up two runs and six hits with six strikeouts in five innings. Verdugo took the blame for allowing the first runner to score on the play. “You’ve got to throw the ball to the right base. “I've seen that play too many times in the last two years,” he said. “Just like you said, it was a crazy play.'īoston manager Alex Cora was upset with his team's defense and thought back to last season's last-place finish. “When I didn’t see anybody in center field when they threw the ball over there, that’s when I knew I was going to score,” he said through a translator. You don’t see that very often.”ĭíaz knew he had an excellent chance to score when Wong's throw went sailing past second. Took a little while for them to get to the ball after Yandy kind of dribbled it past the second baseman, and a lot of things kind of went in our favor,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. By the time Verdugo retrieved it and fired toward the plate, Díaz scored standing up to make it 6-2. Boston catcher Connor Wong fired wide of second, and the ball sailed into an open area in center field with all three Red Sox outfielders scampering to get it. Margot raced around to score and Díaz headed for second on the throw to the plate. With the Rays leading 4-2 in the sixth and Manuel Margot running on the pitch from first base, Díaz singled through a vacant second-base position - with Enmanuel Valdez heading over to cover the bag - and into right-center. Josh Lowe, Luke Raley and Díaz each had two hits for the Rays (42-19), who are 6-1 against AL East rival Boston this season.Īlex Verdugo had two doubles, a triple and scored twice for the last-place Red Sox. BOSTON (AP) - Yandy Díaz’s sixth-inning RBI single turned into a two-run Little League homer, and the major league-best Tampa Bay Rays beat the sloppy Boston Red Sox 6-2 on Sunday.
