One down, 13 to go. Boston topped Tampa 8-2 thanks to eight solid innings from Lowe and three hits (including a long home run) from Ramirez. The Red Sox scored in 6 of their 8 innings and, because the Mariners lost 6-4 in Texas, bumped their wild card lead to 1½ games. Lowe began with 4.2 no-hit innings and of his 24 outs, only one was hit to the outfield. In his past seven starts dating to Aug. 13 in Oakland, he is 5-0 with a 2.58 ERA:
