Boston Absorbs 3-2 Loss to Tampa Bay
Behind an impressive start by Matt Garza, Tampa Bay beat Boston, 3-2. Boston now is 17-12.

It could have been a different outcome for Tampa Bay, had it not been for Carl Crawford, the 24-year old left fielder . Crawford contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 2-1.

Afterward, Rays manager was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
