Tampa Bleeping Bay

With their big comeback win this evening, the Boston Red Sox are now 10-4 against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays this season (to date).

The New York Yankees are 4-9 versus the D-Rays (also to date).

Tampa Bay’s closer is part of the problem. Danys Baez is 5 for 5 in save chances in games with the Yankees - and his ERA is 0.00 against New York. Against Boston, Baez has allowed 14 base runners in 7 IP and is just one for three in save chances.

Boston still has 5 games left with Tampa Bay. It would be nice if Piniella’s boys would start to play the Red Sox as tough as they have played the Yankees this season.

Don’t count on it, especially since Piniella is convinced (with good reason?) that the Bosox get all the calls in the Fens. They seem to have gotten a few in this game.

I believe I heard that the Red Sox have now scored 7+ runs at home in twelve straight games, a modern era record. Phillies did it in 1895, slightly before my time.
