Rays 4, Red Sox 2: Rays Take Season Series, Down Red Sox Behind Erasmo Ramirez

Erasmo Ramirez throws seven strong innings and the offense once again picks up double digit hits in a Rays victory.

If there's any consolation in a season in which the Rays aren't going to make the playoffs it's taking the season series from the Red Sox. That's exactly what they did tonight for the seventh time in eight years with a 4-2 victory.

The night didn't start out well for the Rays, with David Ortiz lifting a hanging, two-out slider over the Green Monster in left for a two run homer. Thankfully, that'd be all the damage the Rays would allow.
