And the Rays' hitters more than earned the victory, somehow finding a way to top Chris Sale, who struck out 12 in seven innings but came away with his fourth loss of the season.
Peter Bourjos homered on an 0-1 pitch from Sale to lead off the fifth and give the Rays their first lead. Wilson Ramos then added a two-run homer in the sixth to push the lead to 4-1.
Rays starter Jacob Faria gave up a sacrifice fly to Deven Marrero in the third that put the Red Sox up, 1-0.
