12 K`s for Sale, but no win for Red Sox
(MLB.com Boston Red Sox)

Prior to Thursday night`s Red Sox-Rays contest, Rays manager Kevin Cash stressed the importance of the series, even if it was just July. The Rays responded in typical Rays fashion by mixing quality pitching with a healthy dose of the long ball to take a 4-1 win and move to 4 1/2 games behind the American League East-leading Red Sox.
