For most of the afternoon, the Rays had no answer for Red Sox pitching on Monday. Then, with one swing of the bat, their dream start to the season was once again alive and well.
Tampa Bay beat Boston, 1–0, thanks to a solo home run from Brandon Lowe in the eighth inning to improve to 10–0 on the young season. With the win, the Rays became the first team since the 1987 Brewers to start a year with 10 consecutive victories.
