Rays/Red Sox Tied for AL East Lead


The Boston Red Sox obliterated the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field tonight, blasting 6 HRs and cruising to a 13-5 win. The victory ties the Red Sox for first place in the AL East, and pushes the storybook Rays into serious pressure going into tomorrow's game. What's worse for Tampa is that their ace Scott Kazmir looked lost on the mound, serving up 9 earned-runs in 3 innings. He gave up home-runs to David Ortiz, Mike Lowell, Jason Bay and Jason Varitek, and didn't give the Rays a chance to win this game.

Josh Beckett and Andy Sonnastine will decide the AL East leader tomorrow, so look for an exciting game through-and-through.
