Red Sox Accelerate to Late Win Over Rays
The Boston Red Sox faced a tough opponent in Tampa Bay pitcher Scott Kazmir, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Tropicana Field by a final score of 4-3. Kazmir went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. The save went to Jonathan Papelbon, number 30 for him. Boston is 71-63 and Tampa Bay, with the loss, 62-73.

Boston used the timely hitting of Jim Rice to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Red Sox on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll put this win in the can," said Rice, "and go after the next one."
