BOSTON (AP) — Rookie Marcelo Mayer hit two of Boston’s four solo home runs and the Red Sox outlasted the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Wednesday night. Abraham Toro added a go-ahead homer in the fifth inning, and Jarren Duran also hit one to help Boston earn its second series win over the Rays this season.

BOSTON — Roman Anthony, the top prospect in baseball, hit a two-run double for his first major league hit and added a sliding catch in right field to help the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 on Tuesday night.

The Rays (-110 moneyline odds to win) and the Red Sox (-109) will square off in an expected tight matchup. The starting pitchers are Shane Baz (5-3) for the Tampa Bay Rays, and Brayan Bello (2-1) for the Boston Red Sox.

After taking two of three from the Yankees in the Bronx last weekend, the Boston Red Sox will look to win another series against their biggest rival at Fenway Park this weekend.

The Boston Red Sox franchise slugger offered a four-word response as Marcelo Mayer takes over his old position.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins is sticking by the story he told about his father playing for the New York Yankees, despite no evidence that he actually did.

By reaching 25 steals against the Red Sox on Tuesday, José Caballero achieved a feat the Rays had only seen from Carl Crawford, B.J. Upton and Josh Lowe.
