Rays win 8th in a row with 18-hit, 4-HR attack
(MLB.com Tampa Bay Rays)

It was a battle of big hits between the American League`s best team and the hottest team in baseball Saturday at Fenway Park. In the end, the hot-handed Rays` late flurry of shots allowed them to stand victorious over the Red Sox, 12-6. The Rays cranked out 18 hits and four home runs, though their first was of the unconventional kind, as Denard Span hustled out an odd-hop single in center to plate himself and Wilson Ramos with an inside-the-park home run. Ramos, Carlos Gomez and Johnny Field would also homer.
