The Red Sox hit a pair of solo shots from Rafael Devers and Wilyer Abreu. Jarren Duran also found his swing and made an impact with two doubles. Boston put together solid at-bats, yet the club trailed after one tough inning put them behind.
Tanner Houck battled through 5 2/3 innings and 112 pitches. He departed in the sixth, where the Rays posted three runs and cashed in on situational at-bats against Greg Weissert out of the Red Sox bullpen.
It would be up to the offense to find more run support in the later innings, though the Rays kept the Boston lineup off the board to close out the night.
