Through four innings, Boston's left-handed starter
Henry Owens was perfect. He had a 2-0 lead and no Rays had reached. Then, Tampa began to chip away at the rookie's infallibility (note the reference to the visit of
Pope Francis)—ultimately getting to him for five earned runs in
the 5-2 loss. The defeat sent
The Carmine Hose back into the AL East cellar—a warm, comfy and all-to-frequent resting place in 2015.
Travis Shaw continued his hotting hitting lately—going 3-3 with 2 RBIs. The Red Sox also got multiple hit games from
Mookie Betts (2-4) and
Xander Bogaerts (2-3).
