BLAKE SNELL |
THE BEST RED SOX TEAM EVAH! ...
Blake Snell muzzles the Red Sox
May 24, 2018 ...
Blake Snell had
another strong outing against the Sox. Snell threw six scoreless
innings, Wilson
Ramos drove in two runs, and the Rays avoided
a three-game sweep by beating the Red
Sox 6-3. Snell (6-3) allowed three hits,
walked two and struck out eight to improve to 2-0 in three starts
against The Sox this season. He gave up two runs and 11 hits in 19
innings.
Mitch Moreland hit
a solo homer and Rafael
Devers had an RBI double off Matt
Andriese in the ninth as the Sox got within three runs.
But, Alex
Colome retired Sandy
Leon on a two-out grounder with Devers on second to get
his 11th save.
Red Sox starter Rick
Porcello (6-2) lasted just 3 2/3 innings, allowing six
runs and eight hits. He threw 92 pitches.
Denard Span scored
the first of two runs during the first when Leon was charged with an error for
dropping Porcello’s throw home on Ramos’ bases-loaded comebacker. Brad
Miller added a sacrifice fly. The Rays took a 5-0 lead
after two innings, helped by a pair of Sox miscues.
Ramos had a bases-loaded two-run single in the second that
also saw Matt
Duffy score a third run from first base when right
fielder Mookie
Betts picked up an error for an errant throw back to
the infield.
Duffy put Tampa Bay up 6-0 on a third-inning RBI single.
Hector Velazquez (strained
lower back) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list and LHP Bobby
Poyner was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket.
