Red Sox Series Tightens Rays' Division Race

Boston defeated Tampa Bay 4-2 on Sept. 18, ending the Rays' six-game winning streak and reducing their AL East lead to four games. Roman Anthony's three RBIs, Seymour's early home runs allowed and Tampa Bay's 0-for-13 performance with runners in scoring position raise the stakes for the rest of the series and the final games against New York.
