Game 149: Rays 9 Sox 2

Sox hosting the Rays for four games with a 4 game lead in the wild card. Weiland making another spot start results in 4 runs in 3 innings. Three of those came on a Longoria home run that never would have happened if Upton hadn't managed to send a broken bat shard in the same direction as Scutaro as he tried to field his ground ball. It's just going that way for the Sox these days. Morales and Albers combine for 1 1/3 innings of 5 run relief to round out the pitching ineffectiveness.

At the plate, not much happened with the Sox only amassing 6 hits (although they did work 5 walks). Scutaro and Ortiz led the team with two hits each. But no extra base hits meant there was no chance to catch up as this turned into a laugher by the 7^th.
