Talking Points: Rays 2, Red Sox 1

Share

STAR OF THE GAME: Rene Rivera

The slow-footed Tampa Bay catcher delivered the biggest hit of the night, singling down the left field line with one out in the ninth to score the game-winner for the Rays.


HONORABLE MENTION: Jake Ororizzi

Odorizzi allowed a single run over 6 2/3 innings to the Red Sox, giving up just three hits in the process.


GOAT OF THE GAME: Anthony Varvaro

The Red Sox reliever faced four hitters in the bottom of the ninth - and gave up hits to three of them, absorbing his second defeat of the season.


TURNING POINT: The ninth-inning leadoff single by Allan Dykstra set the winning rally in motion for the Rays.


BY THE NUMBERS: The loss meant the Red Sox dropped their first series of the season.
