G120: Devil Rays 6, Red Sox 5

Devil Rays - 104 001 000 - 6  9  0
Red Sox    - 000 000 311 - 5  8  0

The Red Sox had the tying run on second with no one out in the bottom of the ninth (Crisp singled and Lugo doubled on a 11-pitch AB), but could not get him home. Pedroia struck out, Youkilis struck out and, after Ortiz walked, Manny struck out.

The top five hitters in the Boston lineup -- Pedroia, Yook, Tiz, Manny and Drew -- went 1-for-20 (3 walks). Matsuzaka was not sharp from the start and had a rough third inning, facing eight batters, allowing four hits, a walk and four runs.

In New York, Rivera blew it in the 10th:

Orioles - 001 200 000 3 - 6 12 0
Yankees - 000 000 003 0 - 3 10 2

Still 5 GA with a day off tomorrow before the Angels come to town for two on Friday. (MFY host Detroit on Thursday.)
