Red Sox Curb Rays, 4-0
Boston Red Sox starter Tanner Houck was on his game, helping his team beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-0. Houck yielded no runs over 8.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 14-7. With the win, Boston pushed its record to 84-69.

Boston used the timely hitting of Masataka Yoshida to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Red Sox on top, 4-0. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Tanner is a tough competitor," said Boston manager Alex Cora.
