Red Sox Get 5-4 Win Versus Tampa Bay
Boston and Tampa Bay put this game in the books despite some rain.

The Boston Red Sox topped the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, in American League action at Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Boston shortstop Bryan Clair. Scott Duree finished to wrap up his 20th save.

Clair contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Boston in the top of the fourth. With his team trailing 2-0, Clair took a changeup from Erik Lepore and stroked the home run to center. His 8th home run of the season allowed the Red Sox to leap in front, 4-2.

"We take it day by day here," said Clair, "and today was a good one for us."

By defeating Tampa Bay, the third-place Red Sox improved to 40-42.
