The AL East was unkind to the Red Sox the past couple of seasons and it continues to be that way. Boston couldn't build off of two straight wins over the Washington Nationals and take advantage of a Rays team that has been underwhelming this season.
Two of those runs came when Ceddanne Rafaela had a ball go off his glove while trying to make a full-extension diving grab on a ball Amed Rosario's laced into the right-center gap. The play resulted in a triple for Rosario.
The Red Sox have played just four games against the AL East this season, but have yet to secure a win. Boston needs to find some sort of answer to curb its divisional woes.
- Rosario had the aforementioned key hit in the first inning and provided an insurance run in the top of the eighth with an RBI double. He finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs.
