Red Sox - 100 003 000 - 4  8  1
Rays    - 300 000 05x - 8 12  0
Junichi Tazawa had another bad outing, blowing the save and taking the loss after allowing four runs on four hits (including a two-run home run) and two wild pitches.

Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-5 and scored twice. ... David Ortiz, Travis Shaw, and Pablo Sandoval each had two hits. ... Miley: 7-7-3-0-5, 109.

The Blue Jays beat the Yankees 11-5 - Toronto is on a 30-9 run - to increase their AL East lead to 2.5 games.

"Mark Teixeira Will Miss Remainder Of Yankees' Season With Leg Fracture"

That's a shame.

Time to shut poor Taz down.....

It's irresponsible and incompetent at this point for them to keep trotting Taz out there. The name "Scott Proctor" keeps coming up, but even that's not an apt comparison. It's my understanding that the only reason Torre used that dude so much was because they were in tight situations in vital games.

Lovullo has no such excuse. He's putting Taz on the mound, the most over-used bullpen arm over the last few years, over and over again, for no apparent reason at all. Some reporter needs to friggin' ask him about this. And if he says some B.S. about how the Sox still have a chance and that these wins matter, then I hope he never gets a permanent managing gig.

Yep before this stretch Taz likely had huge (or at least decent) trade value in the offseason.

Now his value is zero. Somewhat tragic for such a previous key performer.
