Game 151: Rays 4, Sox 3

Aagh. With Lester on the mound and a big game, you really want the win. But Lester gives up 4 runs over 7 innings on 5 hits and 4 walks and the offense can't overcome. Crawford had two hits and Aviles had three (a day after hitting his first home run as a Red Sox). But we got nothing but walks out of the middle of the lineup and the Rays did just enough to win.

It’s games like this that just make you shake your head because the Rays didn’t seem like the better team but they somehow found a way to win. Playoff teams find a way to win and the Sox are not looking like a playoff team.
