Rays Collapse in Seventh Again | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Rays crumbled in a heartbreaker, falling 7-6 to the surging Red Sox after blowing a two-run lead in the seventh. Manager’s early pull of the starter—just 61 pitches in—was a gutsy gamble to protect the lead, but the bullpen couldn’t hold it. Four straight losses and eight of their last twelve games have the team reeling. The Red Sox exploded for four runs in the seventh, capped by a crushing two-run homer against a pitcher who fell behind in the count. Despite a solid offensive showing—six runs scored—the Rays couldn’t close it out, as the Red Sox closer locked down the ninth. Players are pushing for resilience, but facing a hot team makes recovery tough. Still, the Rays stay upbeat while acknowledging the fixes they need.
