Red Sox Deal Rays 7-6 Defeat
The Boston Red Sox faced a tough opponent in Tampa Bay pitcher Jeffery LeBlanc, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Tropicana Field by a final score of 7-6. LeBlanc went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. The winner in relief was Alex Ramirez. He is now 6-3. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. Robert Paullus was called on to finish, recording his 30th save.

Boston used a clutch hit from Sawyer Cleveland to get the win. The left fielder drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Nice win for us," said Cleveland. "Now we'll go after the next one."

Boston raised its record to 89-64 with the win.
