The Rays hold the Red Sox to only one hit over 10 innings before winning, 3 – 0. Starter Drew Smyly allows the lone safety, a single by Jackie Bradley in the 3rd, and strikes out 11 over 8 scoreless innings. For Boston, Joe Kelly has to leave the game with shoulder stiffness in the 1st, but four relievers keep the Rays from scoring until Kevin Kiermaier opens the top of the 10th with a homer off Matt Barnes. Erasmo Ramirez is the winner while Alex Colome picks up the save.
