Red Sox 4, Rays 3: Bobby Dalbec and Rafael Devers lead the way. Again

Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty ImagesThe Red Sox have just a handful of series left on the docket before this disaster of a 2020 series is over, and all they have left is to play spoiler against a plethora of teams who actually remain in the race. The Rays aren’t going to be knocked out of the postseason picture, but Boston can at least make things more uncomfortable atop the division with a good weekend, and they got off to a good start. The offense was led by a pair of dingers by a pair of red-hot power hitters, with the first coming from Rafael Devers and the second from Bobby Dalbec. The rookie now has six homers in his first ten games. Mike Kickham only went four innings and served up two homers himself, but they were both solo shots and it was all he gave up. He also somehow struck out eight, something I saw with my own two eyeballs and still don’t really believe. Anyway, all that was enough for the Red Sox to win 4-3 and push their record to 16-29.
