Palacios has RBI single in the 9th to give the Rays a 2-1 victory over the Red Sox
The Rays improved to an MLB-best 25-14 in one-run games after Richie Palacios scored Junior Caminero on a fly ball that dropped into shallow right.
- On Saturday, Richie Palacios hit a walk-off single in the ninth inning, scoring Junior Caminero to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
- Red Sox starter Brayan Bello matched a career high with 11 strikeouts, but Jonathan Aranda tied the game with a solo home run in the fourth after Boston took a 1-0 lead with doubles from Caleb Durbin and Roman Anthony.
- Boston's Caleb Durbin doubled in the top of the ninth to represent the winning run but committed an inexplicable blunder by being caught stealing third, while the Rays capitalized on fortuitous bounces including Caminero's foul popup bouncing off the Tropicana Field catwalk.
- The postseason-bound Rays, who have won seven of their last eight games, lowered their magic number to five for clinching the AL East and snapped an 0-for-17 slump with runners in scoring position.
- For Sunday's series finale, RHP Griffin Jax will start with a 7-10 record and 3.80 ERA, as the Rays aim to extend their momentum with Trevor Story's 10-game hitting streak.
