ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Trevor Story homered in the sixth inning then scored the winning run on Jarren Duran's single in the eighth as the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1. Story opened the eighth with a comebacker single off Drew Rasmussen (0-2). After stealing second and third, he scored when Duran grounded his hit to right past a drawn-in infield. Justin Slaten (6-2) worked out off a first-and-third, no-out jam in the seventh for the win and Kenley Jansen worked the ninth for his 27th save in 31 chances. Ryan Pepiot struck out a career-high 12 in six innings for the Rays and Taylor Walls had an RBI single.
