BOSTON -- A close game turned into a rout when the Rays jumped on the Red Sox for seven runs in the top of the ninth en route to an 11-2 victory on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.
The Rays snuffed out Boston rallies in the fifth, sixth and eighth, then pounced on relievers Robbie Ross Jr. and Heath Hembree in the ninth.
The game went off on time despite an ominous forecast, and was played without interruption though it took 4 hours, 32 minutes to complete.
"The guys, they kind of sucked it up out there," Rays manager Kevin Cash said.
