G104: Rays 3, Red Sox 0

Red Sox - 000 000 000 - 0  8  1
Rays    - 100 100 10x - 3  9  0

The Rays are currently on the kind of run we had hoped the Red Sox would pull off. Tampa Bay has won 27 of their last 38 games (since June 10, when they were 18 games under. 500), and is 15-4 in July.

The Rays - now at 51-53 - are trying to become the fourth team in history to get to .500 after being 18 games under. The others: 1899 Louisville Colonels, 2004 Devil Rays, 2006 Marlins.
