Tampa Bay would compile more hits at 11, but few of them were timely, as they only had 3 runs. Betts and Benintendi hit back-to-back doubles, followed up by an RBI single from the still hot first baseman Mitch Moreland.
Manager Kevin Cash said after the game that "we anticipate this will be a short stay". He's a pretty quiet guy. The homer made it 2-0. Though in recent years, the earlier start to the marathon has made it hard if not impossible to coordinate seeing both events.
"It's awesome. I talk to him all the time", Wright said.
"I'll be fine", Ramirez said.
When Peterson was standing at his locker answering questions, a teammate yelled "Shane Ruth!" Moreland also doubled, giving him at least one in eight of the last nine games.
"It was a tragedy for sure, but the city came together", Wright said.
Blake Snell (0-2) gave up four runs - one earned - and seven hits in five innings.
Miller brought a pair home with his triple that Red Sox center fielder Andrew Benintendi lost in the sun. Dickerson and Kiermaier would score two groundouts by Miller and Souza.
Spying on Trump, his team
Rice reportedly ordered the unmasking of identities of President Trump's team that were part of classified intelligence reports . A Rice spokesman told the Times in response they would not "dignify the president's ludicrous charge with a comment".
Boston would respond with a run of their own, off of a Hanley Ramirez single to score Dustin Pedroia, but Snell limited the damage. Mookie Betts and Christian Vazquez each had three hits. He gave up four homers over 1 1/3 innings in his previous start.
"I think it comes back to not getting any strikeouts", he said of his outing. "It's just pinpointing the fastball".
Sale breezed through the first inning, throwing only 11 pitches to retire the side in order, but the strikeouts and some long at-bats added to his 111-pitch total.
Morrison increased it to 6-0 with his shot deep into the right-field seats in the third. No matter which team you hold your allegiance to, all fans can mutually enjoy the simple fact that baseball is indeed, back. Rays would end the game 3 for 15 with RISP. Bradley, who suffered a sprained right knee April 9, was running and taking batting practice with a brace before Friday's game.
NOTES: Boston manager John Farrell earned his 500th career victory (346 with Red Sox) and moved passed Eddie Kasko for sole possession of eighth place on the team's all-time managerial wins list. Price has been on the DL since early spring training with a strained left elbow. The Indians' utility went four for four and reached base all five times he came to the plate in Cleveland's win. He greeted her and signed the photo.
Robertson wasn't quite as sure afterward, explaining why he didn't throw to second - his positioning, where he caught the ball, the potential to hit the runner with the throw - then saying "in hindsight, maybe I should have tried to give it a shot".
